Someone made a post that is at least irrelevant to [email protected] and is asking people to pay money for their ebook, which would be considered unsolicited advertising, i.e. spam.

edit: If you want to appoint me as mod, that’s fine, then I’ll take care of it.

    This happened also in curlyhair. I would also offer to mod that one.

      curlyhair? Posting that kind of link there is very suspiciously spammy/spambotty.

        Yeah I deleted it. I googled and the company looks legit but ads don’t belong there.

      Offer accepted. I made you the mod of [email protected]. The old mod hasn’t been active for a long time.

        Cool, I removed the post & will keep an eye on the community.

        ETA, is it possible to modify the name to just “Hair”? I would like it to be more clear it’s for all hair types.

          You can change the visual name of a community, but you cannot change its slug. You would have to create a new community.

            Done, thanks. Also the old mod resurfaced when I acquired it, so I added her back in as a mod too.

    I removed the post from [email protected]. Though I have not banned the user or removed their other posts. At least not yet. Their repeated requests for ko-fi donations does look spammy, but they do link to free copies to their writing. In the post you referenced there’s a Google Docs link to the book farther down. I’m not sure if the user is only here to panhandle or if they are just tone-deaf.

        Sure thing. You are the mod now. The old mod appears to be long gone.
