That's on the (ever growing) list. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-and-greg-stealth-advertising-on-ylf#post-144353 Fri, 16 Apr 2010 15:28:45 +0000 Greg 144353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the heads up. For now the best mechanism is to send me a private message.</p> <p>You'll find that we normally see these and remove them. In some cases they are real spammers, and in others it is a legitimate member just getting a little too zealous about promoting their business or their employer. Obviously we treat these cases differently.</p> <p>You don't want to know how much spam we head off at the pass before you even see it. It's like a plague on the Internet. Fortunately there are some good automated tools that deal with most of it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-and-greg-stealth-advertising-on-ylf#post-144351 Fri, 16 Apr 2010 15:28:10 +0000 JennyK (NC) 144351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I see these I send a PM to Angie or Greg. </p> <p>Here's a great feature request though: a "report this post" button. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-and-greg-stealth-advertising-on-ylf#post-144348 Fri, 16 Apr 2010 15:24:42 +0000 Debora 144348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've noticed this also, and in most cases, the forum members are pretty good about recognizing these as such and ignoring them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-and-greg-stealth-advertising-on-ylf#post-144345 Fri, 16 Apr 2010 15:20:28 +0000 chewyspaghetti 144345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This happens quite a lot, actually. There will be a supposedly fashion related post, with a link to a business selling shoes or something. I've always wondered what we should do about it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-and-greg-stealth-advertising-on-ylf#post-144344 Fri, 16 Apr 2010 15:18:13 +0000 Kate 144344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In the past 12 hours I've seen two posts that I think are advertisements. Is it possible to add something to the website so that we can let you know about suspicious posts efficiently? Should we just send you a private message? Has this happened much before? </p>
