This: http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=11383062[^] signed up today, and his only post was a question linking to a site for downloading files from YouTube.
Not only is that probably a naughty site (YouTube T&C's don't allow downloads) but the whole question was "I found this site ... which dowloads YouTube videos. Is it any good?"
I think that counts as spam - what do you think?
[edit]
He's just a spammer: he added a message on the General Indian forum:
If anyone want to Download Facebook Videos , i got a new site to download video directly to your pc. - linking to the same site.

Given that both his answers were posted a couple of years after the other answers to the same question, and his username used to be the same as the domain he links to, that's a yes!
Kicking time - I've deleted the spam and left the un-spammy stuff.

Where is this moderation queue?
I'm supposedly having the permissions to moderate, but I've never seen it.
|

The permissions are updated. The Privileges tab on your profile says now that only Protectors and Admins can use it.
The quick red ProgramFOX jumps right over the Lazy<Dog>.

I didn't know it had been "upgraded" to Protectors only - but it makes sense as it's a "head shot" for the message.
What happens is that the span filter isn't sure, so it asks for confirmation before the message, or question, or answer is published. And that's a single operation. Click "it's fine" and it's straight through, "no way José" and it's straight in the bin.
The user however lives to span another day - which also makes sense in the early days of the filter. You want to get some solid performance data in before you let The Machine kill accounts automatically.

Neither did I, I checked it not long ago and then I was supposed to have the permissions, but I never could find it. Now I know why.

So they're writing HTML now, as well as posting canned meat products?

I too saw all his messages.All his messages have link to another Site. Is this a Right way to link another sites?

No. It's spam - advertising your site without actually asking or paying for the privilege - and that means the messages will go (I deleted them) and he is a spammer, and should get kicked via the Red Flag on his profile page.

Yeah, it's spam. Just he's not very good at it.
Reported and his messages cleaned.
Kick away, chaps and chapesses!
