Default Spam!

Some poster going by the name Cordova (http://www.totse.com/community/member.php?u=223797) is posting what I think is spam in multiple forums. All are asking for "how old are totseans?"

He didn't post them all at the same times.

He seems to be collecting data for an age distribution.

Yeah, he posted a thread in SG a few days ago announcing that he was going to poll each of the most popular forums and determine the average age of each forum, and then the average age of Totse as a whole.

Yeah I saw it in GPP, didn't really think it was spam to be honest.

Since I see such a thread several times a year, I just figured it was time again.

Though, technically, it is spam since he posted it in multiple forums, I think it should be let go in this case....Though he probably should have asked either an Admin or the Mods of the affected forums first. But no harm no foul I say.

I figured I'd put the alert out and utilize the forum!

Gathering private data for a project?

Well fuck that.

If he's no actual interest in the forum except to do his homework from that thread is getting killed.

I can't speak for others but I enjoy helping out posters with projects, academic or otherwise.

We've gotten threads asking for suggestions, help, and participation in music projects quite a few times over the years, and I'm sure other forums have gotten projects as well.

I don't think a TOTSE census will do any harm.

It's still multiple forum same thread posting, which I thought was a bit of a definition of spam.

I've left it for now. Jackketch will kill it if he feels that's the right thing to do.
