While perhaps not technically spam, it seems like there's a big uptick in "PM me", "Skype me", etc. posts. Someone asks a question and soon there's a one liner saying the person replying can help if the OP contacts them, rather than just posting an answer.

Also seems to be a lot more link dropping and posting of one's own videos.

Last thing putting a burr under my blanket today - do we need a subsection to relegate all the "Ask Method" survey posts?

I've asked the mods to be harsher on those style of posts.

I haven't noticed this tick up too much myself, but I've alerted the mods to the issue anyway.

Seems to go in waves, every time someone runs a webinar about surveying your market. Members come to the forum and post something like "What is your biggest challenge about [topic]?" The idea is not discussion, it's market research for an upcoming product offer.

Ryan Levesque has dubbed it the "ASK Method". While Levesque advocates surveying a list you own or running targeted traffic to a survey landing page, a lot of newbies figure they can run the survey for free by posting a thread in the Warrior Forum.

It becomes a magnet for one liners, sig droppers, and other worthless posts. The OP usually bumps it repeatedly by adding "thanks for the feedback" posts whenever the thread drops to the second page.

Appreciate your efforts to clean things up.

They were reported and some remained a long time !

Here is another clown to boot off the forum promoting his site.

kalomegh | Warrior Forum

These people add no value you here, with their nosense. Yes it is getting better here and you guys work very hard. But when you log into the forum and 1/2 the new posts on the threads are spam it gets annoying after awhile. This gets especially worse on the weekend when these activities increase. IMHO.

Thanks
