Hi guys
I see all the usual lowlifes trying to spam forums, not just at About.com, but at other sites, too. You are not welcome here.
Forum guidelines prohibit commercial posts. I will enforce that prohibition vigorously. Don't bother. I won't allow it.
Thanks for all friends

Hello friends
The downfall of the previous incarnation of this site was that it was highly susceptible to blitz attacks by spam bots that clogged up the links and comment pages. The new version of the site has enough protections in place to prevent these bots from spamming us. However, there is nothing to prevent a human from legitimately registering a new account and then manually submitting spam links. In fact, that has been happening since day 1 of the re-launch.
One of these spammers was even kind enough to spam the site with a link to their spamming service!
Needless to say, the persistence of these human spammers mean that some kind of moderation is required. I can either clean up after these folks after the fact – that is, after the links have already appeared on our pages – or cut them off before their spammy links can appear. Thus, in order to discourage these spammers and keep their links from appearing on the site I have implemented a new policy that only applies to newly registered users. After you sign up for the first time you must have at least one approved link before you can start freely submitting without any pre-screening. If you have already registered then nothing will change for you. I know, I know….it is not an ideal procedure. However, this way (I hope) much less spam will ever appear on our pages and therefore the overall experience for legitimate users will actually be greatly improved.
Thanks
