Irish_Dem
(58,803 posts)3. No I don't see commercial spam on alert list.
Scrivener7
(53,038 posts)4. Thank you for checking! I wonder why it was removed.

(58,803 posts)7. I just got jury duty for commercial spam about two days ago.
So it is still going to jury?

(22,566 posts)9. We changed it so that alert only works on new members
with fewer than 100 posts.
Prior to the change, too many established members were getting posts removed for posting things that werent commercial spam. As long as its not overdone, it is permitted for established members to promote their own products and services especially in the DU Marketplace forum. The rule is really intended to stop the kind of spam thats produced by spambots and paid spammers. Nobody who is here to participate honestly on DU ever posts that kind of thing. (If they ever do, it can be sent to me directly to take a look at.)
