When I look at the "new posts" page in SL Forums I see about 75% of the listed posts coming from the same avatar, all advertizing the same two products. Can we expect the forum moderators to act against such abuse and ban the (un)said avatar?

Hi White,

There´s a few of them that I´ve spotted actually.

The only action you could take is to AR the posts for spamming and hope a ResMod takes action.

I can't tell you how ironic it is that you are complaining about advertising while having adverts in your sig.

I disagree with the OP, and with those complaining about advertising in signatures. As long as it's posted to the proper forum and within forum rules, then it's fine by me. As it is, people have very few ways to get the word out and classifieds are expensive, especially for those people struggling to make tier.

But it was THE SAME POST in THIRTEEN different sections of the forum!

Agreed Raymond,
But the advertiser I _think_ White is referring to posted the exact same ad in 9 forums.
It can't have been relevant in each and every one of them.
Announcing a mall opening in scripting tips seems a bit far-fetched :p

The OP said it was 75% of the new posts. I looked for it and could not find it. Yeah, that sounds like spamming. Sorry I overlooked it.

No prob, Ray.

And in theory, I agree with you anyway on his.
