Thank you to our moderators who saw the problem today with several posts including spam links from a "new" source.  From what I can tell, they have been removed.  I appreciate it and am sure others do too.

I'm also glad they removed the offending posts, but I'm sorry they had to throw the baby out with the bathwater. We had a great thread going about Easter meal plans, but they got rid of the whole thread instead of the offending posts. I know they can be surgical, so why not now.

@walker It's been ongoing for a couple of days. I report every single one that I see.

@PA Mom-mom ....must have been an error that happened...frustrating, yes, too bad, but I'm just glad they were removed.  

@Love my grandkids .... thanks to you for reporting and others that did it as well.

 

Unfortunate how some people spend their time trying to be disruptive....🤷‍♀️.

I don't mind moderators do their job. 

 

If posters can't handle some talk they don't like, they need to find a forum or social media that fits them better.

....because we're supposed to love forum police?  

 

If you can't handle what you see, you need to find a forum or social media that fitys you better.

Glad to see that they are gone and sorry some OP were affected too.

 

It was interesting to see that the spam itself was so repetitive.  Almost like they were spammed.

Were the spam posts promoting a product or an opinion?

Those spam posts had nothing to do with opinions or even real people, but were bot generated randomly dispersed live links to what appeared to be a phone service of some sort.

 

I hope no one clicked on them to find out for sure.

I looked up the "dot com" and it appeared to be a cryptocurrency.

 

I didn't go any further.
