@krisrodriguez 5748158 and 5748185 are trying to be a different person while advertising the same exact thing, while 4101398 seems to have been advertising without getting caught from time to time.

@krisrodriguez !!! Found a guy trying to answer-bait by actively answering their own question! Is answer-baiting even something to catch? I know that it isn't exactly Spam, but... 4398320 (iRobot, I am REPORTING, not SPAMMING!)

@theogrefalda I don't think this is spam. Answer-baiting on a question might actually be a way, if other people look at this question, give solutions to people.
@ahmadawick Alright.
@ahmadawick I looked further into that user, and it seems like that they are linking towards a singular eBay user, likely to bypass iRobot's security protocol while still advertising.
@theogrefalda agreed. It's SPAM and needs the Ban Hammer :-)
@oldturkey03 Maybe there should be a new protocol for our friend iRobot to see if any repeated eBay listings are to the same eBay lister, and get the same treatment as any other spam: If it doesn't include enough information to why it is useful and not spam and isn't just self advertising, then the spam gets deleted.

@ahmadawick really does not classify as SPAM. It's just appears to be more juvenile behaviour than SPAM. iRobot did what iRobot does best. Let's monitor and see where this goes. Banning would be a bit like taking a sledgehammer to a mosquito

Hi @krisrodriguez.
I've found a user with dual accounts advertising their own services in stories. Their two accounts are 5769435 and 5773083.
They were advertising their own services (both advertising the exact same service) in stories, both stories just got marked as spam/offensive by votes.
I guess that deserves a ban?

@meekvixen, definitely, this deserves a ban for sure. I've taken care of both of those accounts. Thank you for catching these!

I've found user 5790901 repeatedly advertising their own services and prompting users to contact their WhatsApp number.
I guess that deserves a ban?
The following is 100 words of Lorem Ipsum for the pleasure of iRobot, here you go buddy:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipiscing elit quisque faucibus ex sapien vitae pellentesque sem placerat in id cursus mi pretium tellus duis convallis tempus leo eu aenean sed diam urna tempor pulvinar vivamus fringilla lacus nec metus bibendum egestas iaculis massa nisl malesuada lacinia integer nunc posuere ut hendrerit semper vel class aptent taciti sociosqu ad litora torquent per conubia nostra inceptos himenaeos orci varius natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes nascetur ridiculus mus donec rhoncus eros lobortis nulla molestie mattis scelerisque maximus eget fermentum odio phasellus non purus est efficitur laoreet mauris pharetra vestibulum fusce dictum risus.

Hi!
I found a user that either promotes their own services or promotes scams. This regards user 2144048.
They are promoting a certain website and service repeatedly across the forum. The website has an invalid SSL domain certificate, which might mean it is not advertisement and might be a scam. So I figure the user deserves a ban.
Cheers

@vauweh, I don't see anything off the top that stands out. What are your thoughts?
@krisrodriguez oh, I remember strange experimental posts. In the meantime everything is deleted.
@vauweh, let's keep an eye on them. It's possible they were just testing things out. If anything pops up just let me know.
