Mods definitely need to reduce the increasing amount of link spam on the forum.

Yes.  I agree.  I'm not sure exactly how this forum is monitored, but pure promotional advertising should be removed.  It's like graffiti in that it may attract more graffiti. 

I messaged Max Peto about this a few months ago. He said to make sure we're reporting anything that looks spam. That will get reviewed by someone. I don't think someone is proactively reviewing posts that are not reported. You click the dots on the top right of the post, then click report. I've been doing it to at least 10 posts every few weeks when I check in on this forum. 

I'll do that, thanks for letting us know.

There is obviously little if any monitoring of this site.  Half the posts in General Discussion are people selling crap.

Be polite--male bovine fecal matter is better description.
