SPAM sucks, even if it is free.

Who's this person? I could've swore I heard her name around here before, but when I do a search, I only find this thread.

The posts 'she' has made look pretty comparable to Newtie. Too many at once can be a little annoying though.

Then was there something recent that prompted karsen's post?
Furthermore, if those are the only posts made by mummy, then from reading the subject line, they seem in-line w/Newt's posts.
However, Newt's a integral member of this community. If mummy's posts are only of these deals, does that make her a spammer? I don't know. On the one hand I can see if that all you do is post these promotional type deals, with no other participation in this community, then it would seem that your intentions are strictly commercial, and that you are a 'spammer'. But then on the other hand, would it seem 'draconian' to insist on on community participation? I don't know the answers to any of this.

Well, if you google her name, all she seems to do is run around posting promotional deals. Yeah, in this case, I'm inclined to think she's a spammer. Of course, that was just a 'shooting from the hip' search, hopefully who ever makes the decision to dump her will do a more proper search.
Re: We Have A Spammer Among Us... - karsen - 10-28-2006
mummy_2girls was not posting deals like Newt does. Newt's deals are legitmate and welcomed.
mummy_2girls was posting "deals" that required the participant to purchase other items or participate in deal programs in order to get the original "deal". These are tried and true techniques for spammers to harvest email addresses or flat out rip people off.

mummy_2girls posts are all gone. That person's post are like things shoved in your face by an obnoxious stranger and all at once. Very obvious.
The Newton is a friendly real person that also posts in other threads. I also appreciate the more exact promo mention yesterday that secured me a free after rebate Moto Q smartphone.

I remember some other person and a female doing the Newt thing but don't think the handle was the same. I have never seen the mummy and 2 girls posts.
