A user by the username 25887 committed to my proposal and added a link in the text field. After inspecting the link I found out that it takes me to some online store or something selling an insect repellent and has nothing to do with the scope of the proposals at all. Should/Will commitments like these with links or content to promote a product or service be removed?

PS: Can we have an option to flag a commitment?

  • Post the screenshot if you can, as the link is dead.

  • @kenorb I forgot to take a screenshot. I wasn't expecting the link to go down in 30 minutes after posting this post.

The user had no other useful content so was removed. There's little chance we would add another spam flag where the likelihood is so low (one instance I can recall in 7+ years). There are many more ways to bring attention to unusual activity including meta posts like this, or the 'contact us' link at the bottom of the page.

  • Would it be a bad idea to flag the proposal as "Requires Moderator attention"?

    That would work.
