7 discussion posts, 6 question posts all for a site that sells something that supposedly defeats Dell laptop BIOS passwords. These are the only posts made by this individual. Old posts are showing up as new today, I think the links in the posts are being updated to a new site.

They are being magically deleted right now. Someone is really on the ball! Nice catch. You get a thumb. :)

And alerted our fabulous Moderator lady.

Any time you see something like that, feel free to use the button. Don't worry about it- "Buy my product" is spam.

Didn't want to overstep my welcome. (To mix phrases.)

""Buy my product" is spam."
not always.

If a peer posts a link to their product / service announcing it's availability, the product / service is IT related, and they only post once on the subject, Then I wouldn't say it's a spam post.

I was worried because I accidentally marked a post as spam recently, when I had really intended to mark a reply containing an illegal CD key. I was reassured that the OP could have been easily considered as "abuse" (asking for a key), but there had already been legitimate replies as to recovering the key from the previous installation, or calling the OEM or MS. I felt a bit bad about it, and didn't want to be seen as abusing the "mark as spam" button, hence my concern.

Thanks again, to Beth, Palmetto, and TiggerTwo.

If it is legit, you will be forgiven by those that matter (Beth and friends). If not, well........

Actually, I pressed the button on Tigs once for a joke. Oops. I dont think I was on Beth's 'good list' that week :0 If I recall, something about 'abusing' something or another....

I erase the lists at the end of each week. Well, except for the "red" list. You don't wanna be on the red list. *evil-head-tilted-back-really-loud laughter*
