I’m curious what everyone thinks about the posts that have shown up here that are simply a link to purchase an item on Amazon?
These posts are coming from users that don’t have any other engagement other than these posts. This does not seem like a good-faith effort to engage with the community, but rather a cheap attempt to generate clicks and sales.
I would like to see these posts banned, but I’m curious how the rest of the community feels.
These are spam. Please keep reporting these, we ban the users from the site and remove the content.
I’ve been reporting them. It seems that a lot of the posts contain affiliate links, so it’s someone trying to make money from that - not because they wrote the books that are getting posted.
Some have been banned, but they keep coming back. Some may be bots, but not all - I saw at least one come back with a hateful response when called out.
