Reported my first spammer today

Came across a page on here for a guy blatantly plugging his own business earlier, right down to web links and his phone number. I had no qualms about grassing him up and reporting him to admin. I'll do the same with anyone doing the same thing too. It actually felt good.

putting your info out there like that is a really good way to find your number sold to every telemarketer out there!

@Jessicalynnt I expect his was a commercial number rather than a private one.

@arthurchappell Oh I am sure it is, but it still seems like a bad idea, and an unappreciated format, heck he could have had intelligent discussions on the work he did, and hinted that people could get his biz info, via pm, if they wanted, and not been a sleezy rulebreaker!

@Jessicalynnt yeah, there are ways to go about marketing and that isn't it. He won't last long using such tactics.

If we all report any such concerns the site could become pretty well spam free

Good that you reported that guy. I haven't seen the post myself, but hope he gets the justice he deserves.
