Beware of random new topics by commercial spammers

Just a heads-up to everyone, before replying to a new topic that seems a bit random, check the profile of the author. If they are promoting something for commercial gain, the topic should be flagged as spam, even if it seems like something you might want to discuss.

I have seen several spam topics come up. I was very much pleased to learn that I can flag it as spam and it shuts down immediately!
