    Weird posts

    Not abusive, just short, irrelevant posts on various threads. Not really able to report, but odd, and I wonder if someone is trying to build up a posting history for "some reason"?

    examples:
    on the guanzhou tourist thread:

    There are quite a few more, not all by the same people. Very odd. Satay Sue noticed something similar last week but I cannot find her thread on it.

    That's right - in a few months one of them will be like, "Hey, anyone know a great website where I can buy cheap ___________?", and the other one will chime in with his brother's site. They have a bit of posting history so the mods won't notice, happens quite a lot. Actually, it's quite smart. There are a few networkers plying their trade on here who, because they are expats who use the site regularly go unnoticed.

    Indeed. Which is why I mentioned it. Plus it's ANNOYING! I click on subscribed threads with new posts and it's a waste of time seeing this crap.

    Thanks to PDLM and JaredHK we got kimay and salovelove.

    Sue - I don't see a user called PCHow or dfd on the site. Could someone report one of their posts?

    I'd say that means your thread was effective and the mods removed them
