Is anyone else seeing the whole bunch of spam sales posts in All Things Gardening section?

Nope, not me. Can you copy and paste what you are seeing there?

Yes. They are annoying.
Perhaps someone will stop them? @dave ?

They're gone.

What exactly is a "spam-post", Dave?

Thanks Dave.
These were adverts for shoes.
This is a gardening site!
Any inappropriate posting is spam.

Ken,

In this case it appeared to be a series of posts advertising athletic shoes for sale. Not exactly a plant item, though fungi might thrive in that environment after a while. But fungi are still a non-plant item that got permission.

We cross posted, Caroline.

Both accurate and correct!

Ken, usually spam == unwanted, unsolicited and off-topic advertisements posted to a forum or received in email.

I know what spam is, I just don't ever remember seeing anything like that on any of the forums. I just wondered what "specifically" y'all were seeing.

Of course, with so many (spam) advertisements on what seems to be every website, I could have simply blocked the spam out when they were right in front of me.

I did not click on any of them. But they were actual threads in the All Thing Gardening Forum. the member name was something like salesallthingsplants

Hey was that a new member part of the membership drive

Not one of mine!!!!!!!

I don't see a member "salesallthingsplants" listed.

I'm sure Dave "composted" whomever it was

Oh, OK.

Gosh, I hope I don't get "composted" one day.

I dunno, Ken. I think 'composted' might be better than 'preserved' like a peach. You aren't in Georgia, you know.

At my age, I am a little bit of both.

Well, I'm gonna hold out for 'pickled' myself.

That too!

Oh I saw those spam postings last night too. Geez such long diatribes over whatever it was. Too much dull time on that one I guess. Such abuse of freedom of speech..

Oh well, glad it is gone!

Anyone got a tree-mail from someone asking for a trade or sase recently..forgot the name of that member..but I gently told the person, to post on the plant and trading forum. Did not identify his location and was a new ATP member too. So far I have not seen the person post anything anywhere.
