Here for 18 months, and the only contribution to the site is two messages posted yesterday, both in reply to messages from December 2017. One links to a jobs site; the other links to a tattoo site.

It's not really "spam" though.

It's not linking to anything, or trying to promote anything; it's just nonsense.

It's fine to report the message as "spam", so the spam filter learns to block similar messages in the future. But if you're going to report the user, I'd go with "abusive/troll" instead of "spammer".

In this case, since it's just one message from a brand new user, I'm inclined to give them a second chance. Smile | :)

Fair enough, but I think nonsense is just as spammy.

In that case, I've got a whole long list of CP users that should be banned for the nonsense they post.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

The other messages in his history are fine... Maybe having problems to post and the random keys are just a quick test?

Maybe they have a cat that wants to post. I know cats love keyboards... and posting. Smile | :)
