    I've picked up on the strange names B3 and I guess when I've been here a bit longer I'll recognise older threads. I'll watch out for the intro information threads thank you.

    Dredging up old threads is a favourite ploy, even if the post isn't  always an obvious spam with a link. They usually appear with one later, or add a link during the edit time.  ;)

    That's crafty, adding a link during the edit time. I have a concern that I flag a post when in fact it's a genuine one especially if it's a new member.

    If you click on your flag again, it disappears. 
    I find new scammers often start with the word  Hi.😏

    You can sometimes tell they're dodgy if the post's a bit dubious, or looks like a 'cut and paste', but there are some that post for a while and lull you into a false sense of security  ;)

    Then there are the ones who are just...odd... :D

    Aye - a repeat offender that one, but has taken to randomly posting on old threads without a link.
    I know lots of people flag him, but I'm always a bit wary of doing it when there's no spam there.  :/
