I've had notecards advertising apartment rentals dropped on me unsolicited while working as a mentor in the Welcome Areas. This is clearly spam and a nuisance but is it against TOS? While it doesn't seem like taht big a deal, if it picks up in frequency it could become very annoying and problematic.

You can send in an abuse report from the HELP menu to have it investigated.
