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?

This article Best and must have Visual Studio extension for back-end developers(sql database) - Netverest Tools[^] smells a bit of pink meat, but could also just be a poor attempt at sharing a genuinely useful tool with us.

However the member has already had one message removed Latest Messages[^] and the remaining one points to the same website.

The owner [^] of that website appears to share the same first name as the member [^] which could of course, just be a coincidence.

It's a "freemium" tool, and therefore, spam:

Most of them are FREE, however there is also premium version with even more amazing features. So if those tools are helpful for you then please go premium and support us, so we will be able to develop new features faster.

The message is also spam: Latest Messages[^]

One message in the moderation queue, which I can't see. His other message is in the Database forum, asking about HDD data recovery tools.

Smells like a spam setup to me.

I think it is gone. His profile say 2 messages but there is only one in the list. The one remaining is the one asking for help to recover the data.

I did really need help last Christmas when my father in law got his computer erased by an Indian scammer Sigh | :sigh:

But deleting it himself... that's a bit harder to achieve.

That isn't spam, it's possibly abuse.

It may be a spam tester, to see if he can post, but spam is very specifically advertising, such as site driving and so on - and that contains no links, no company name, no spam at all.
There is an "Abusive/Trolling" vote which is more applicable in this case.
