 |
|
Being a miserable rotten Day here in the N/W and with nothing else to do except browse the Site I came across a post by " ponddigger " ....."10ft x 6ft Pond with Waterfall on edge" posted in April 2010...."ponddigger" displayed a few Photos of his work and this was followed by comments from Forum Members including yours truly.....
It was by chance today I went back over the Post {I admire his Skills and needed cheering up } and saw an added post by "Verge" making reference to Spammers and he was keeping an eye on this Post { my 1st time to see it }.....my question... what part of the Post gave an indication of a Spammer at work....I have'nt a clue what took place and the entire Post looked innocent enough to me....
But then thats me....I cannot see any logic in why People do Childish acts....just curious about "Verge" entry.....nothing more....  |

Being a novice on the computer I have no idea how to put a link to the post.... that aside ponddigger is a regular on this site and regularly puts photos on display... thats the 1st time I've seen a warning after a post....I'm hoping Verge see's it and may enlighten my ignorance. |

A guess would be that the post had spam, and the spam has been removed.

Vulkan is correct Geranimojess, a (now not visable) spam post was removed from that thread.
It was from a first time poster singing the praises of some product or other.

 That's Vulkans signature. It's bewneath all their posts.

| I guesss places like this will always suffer from spammers. I've been on a few football forums down the years and I moderate two facebook pages for science students and it's impossible to be sure if people signing up are genuine or not. It gets annoying at times but I suppose that's what the delete button is for. |
