Man this spam post is amateurish. Bad English throughout, obvious plug for a product, and they don't realise that we can't send eachother private messages without giving eachother our email addresses - I mean who's going to give this berk their email address after this piece of tripe?

I mean, how gullible do these muppets think we are? ((Picard facepalm))

I must be getting gullible in my old age because the OP's request did not seem like spam to me. Just like dozens of oher requests on here from folk seeking advice about a product.

I agree, it's not always certain whether someone is a spammer. But we have to err on the side of caution if someone posts for the first time on the forum (as this one has, today) and includes a link.

Whether spam or not, the link could be dodgy, and we don't want to be responsible for someone opening it and getting their computer infected.

So when I change someone's category from 'enabled' (normal) to 'spammer' their whole post is removed.
