Spam Threads?

In the morning, I read through the forums I follow. Then, I like to read all the new threads/posts. Lately, I’ve come across what seem like legitimate threads where the OP has asked a seemingly innocent question. However, it started out where I noticed all the new threads were from India. Now, I’m noticing all the new threads are from Austria. Rarely does the OP respond, but occasionally they’ll respond with a link, which seems to be a new way of flying under the radar to post spam or worse.

In these threads, there are only two that have responses from the OP, but they’re both spam.

When you find them, hit the yellow triangle and report them. Make one post in the thread, spam reported. That way, we don't fill up the team's mailbox. The community team will delete them.
