    I brought one set of posts to the administrator's attention the other day where the new member's initial posts didn't have a spam link in them but subsequent ones a few days later did. That's a new MO that I hadn't otherwise seen.

    What I don't get is why the syntax is so bizarre, way beyond non-native-speakers or dyslexia. It must be due to an automatic translator or something, but often the posts are actually somehow relevant to the topic, so whoever must have gone to the trouble of reading a few posts, writing an answer, then shoving it through an auto-translate. Why not just write something easy and generic like "this is a good discussion, thanks for the input"? And if you're going to go to all that trouble, why not add a line saying "Hi, my name is X, I love biking" too?

    And why go search up really old posts? I don't get it.

    Yeah, its weird. I've seen a lot of those lately - I get on usually at 6 a.m. in morning in Arizona. There was another one this morning and I agree with you on the syntax. Very strange indeed
