Yesterday early my AM, I posted a reply to someone asking about access to text format.

After pressing down ENTER, could see that MrChip IIRC, had answered already.

Decided to read his answer maybe one hour later, the thread (whole) could not be found.

Are we in Venezia where the Consiglio dei Dieci is still acting in total secrecy?

Happened already.

 

hi at,

There was a Spam link embedded in the text post, it was deleted as Spam.

Gracias Eric!!

 

hi at,
We are seeing increasing numbers of first time posters asking about a particular feature/device.
Their posts include a link to their commercial site, so attempting to get free advertising.

Some posters actually get paid for posting such post/links.

So no evil plans by Moderation on World domination.

Hello,

I even see some posts where some of the text is made to a link.
This kind of hidden spam we also try to remove.

Thanks Eric again. It took me years to get used to the idea of the so many tricks that can be played with the Web.

The reference to the Consiglio tried to be just an humorous reference. (Our real worries are much focused into the elections, next November; there is hope after all).
