Other Spam in profile posts

[Melanie]

I've noticed a lot of spam in my profile posts. Perhaps people who (poorly) do SEO see it as an opportunity to gain backlinks?

@Melanie there is a "Report" button in the lower left to report posts with an issue. Usually if I see someone spamming its super obvious. They'll have 2 or 3 posts, perhaps not even making sense or not in English, all with links.

Unfortunately, this is just the way the internet is with forums.

Yeah, just report them.

We're working on a fix for this, and will be making changes soon!

We have since removed profile posts, since they were only used for spam.

I even have spams in my youtube videos. That sucks. Mostly the adult links.I will always remove the comments. Those bots are always adapting.
