      Probably spam. Maybe keep an eye on it?

        I'd say it's spam - I can't see any other reason for posting it, and I voted appropriately on message and poster. I took the liberty of editing your post to remove the link address from the subject - otherwise we are doing the spammer's job for him... :laugh:

          At the very least, this is not a development question. I voted "Off-topic".

          You always obtain more by being rather polite and armed than polite only.

              No :laugh: The automated system doesn't flag anybody - it just says "I think this is spam" and queues it for a human to decide. If the human decides "SPAM!" then you would get a kick and the message would be discarded. It's just a false positive, is all - and until they changed it a few months back so high-rep members don't get reviewed at all maybe 10% of my posts went to moderation (from where I was allowed to approve them!) It's a good thing, really - you wouldn't believe how many messages a spambot can post, or how quickly it can do it... :omg:

                gone

                M.D.V. ;) 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 Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
