This article[^] was approved 4 hours ago.
And this user - Professional Profile[^] was created today to publish a comment to that article with some links to IBM giving more information about the topic. And speaking about the MQ forums were the author can get advice if he gets stuck.
The message itself[^] looks fine, but I have the feeling that something is wrong.
Opinions?

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?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you

Based on a reverse image search of her profile picture, Morag seems to be a genuine person working for a company called "MQGem", which is "dedicated to providing affordable IBMMQ education and utilities".
There are two links in the message, both to the IBM knowledgebase, both of which appear to be related to the article.
The message looks fine to me.

That's why I let the message through the filters (it was flagged in moderation queue) and I am only asking, not reporting (just in case I edited the OP-Subject).

Thanks for checking.
It is just that it looks a bit too coordinated or a big coincidence in so short time.

I've just replied to Richard that the user has updated her message. I'm going to follow the user and report if anything more obviously spammy appears

Message has been edited and V2 now contains 3 links - the extra one is now to a wordpress blog "MQGem" - it's starting to smell a little bit like pink meat but she could just have pulled together that "useful" list. I've started following the user and will report if anything tangible appears

The person answering the questions in the main page has same name and picture as here.
Looks like they really try to help but still...
Quote: MQGem Software is a small company dedicated to providing affordable IBM MQ services and utilities. The company name reflects that each tool/program created is a little gem.
So far the blog and most of the resources are free, I didn't see any "price" or "buy" link. I suppose they earn the money as consultant, doing the projects for other people.
At least they could list us in their page too

I think #19 could be legit, but I wouldn't bet anything on it.

I couldn't check the link.
Picture and Name were a bit more "accurated" that most spammers. But I do trust you, that's why I said I wouldn't bet

This: MESSAGE BROKERS[^]
From this: Majid Qafouri - Professional Profile[^]
Is at least partly copy and paste from IBM: What are Message Brokers? | IBM[^]
Search both for
Quote: This is the distribution pattern utilized in message queues with a one-to-one relationship between the message’s sender and receiver. Each message in the queue is sent to only one recipient and is consumed only once. Point-to-point messaging is called for when a message must be acted upon only one time. Examples of suitable use cases for this messaging style include payroll and financial transaction processing. In these systems, both senders and receivers need a guarantee that each payment will be sent once and once only.

I wonder how many non-UKians (or younger members) won't get that reference, and just think you're having a "senior moment".

The frequency of my senior moments is increasing exponentially, so it matters little. But I have a feeling that Piebald is ex-UK.
