Posting Spam (No Matter How Interesting) Is Bad Form

I run and moderate a poetry group on another venue. In the group guidelines it's specifically DESIGNATED for poetry, but guess what?
When I logged on this morning,the group had been spammed with photos. I spent part of the morning removing them.
Now as anyone who knows me knows, I am an avid photography fan, but it's the principle of the thing.
Spamming a venue with irrelevant posts is just bad form/bad online etiquette.

Other people have groups specifically allowing photography, but it's crystal clear to all but the willfully dense that the group I run is for poetry.
Not trying to be rude to anyone, it's just aggravating.

That's just poor form. Sometimes I don't think that people do it to be rude...they just don't think. Have a good week.

I dislike the spam posts that I see here when a new 'member' joins and puts that up as their first post.
It is an insult and security concern to those of us that are good and honest members.
I wish that they would add an anti-spam emoji we seem to need them on a regular basis I feel.
