OK, wondering what the forum policy is for SEO "ladies of the night"? I'm talking about the users that obviously are only signing up and posting to increase their Search Engine Optimization.

Should we be reporting these or is it basically allowed?

I'm talking about things like this, guy signs up and makes four basically nonsensical posts including their web URL. Its pretty obvious that the only reason they're posting is to get web page hits and improve their google ranks.

I notice many others doing it, but many times they're actually participating in the thread's discussions and giving out good advice. I'm not talking about those that are actually helping, just the ones that are obviously only here for the ranking and not actually participating in the forum.

If you think that they are spamming the forum or are other ways problematic then feel free to use the "report Post" button

and the Mod Squad will make a determination.

We appreciate all the help we can get in the reporting of such posts because we just can't see them all.

Sounds good Skip. That was as I expected, but wanted to get some verification and vent a bit.

Thanks
