I'm noticing a few odd posts on the boards today - looks like a brand new member posting and then another brand new member posting immediately after? Do we flag these types of odd posts?
-
@pinkcupcake: Yes, Mr. Bee said to flag.
Eta: Looks like their accounts were already shut down. It's really weird because they aren't advertising anything so I don't know what they get out of it.
-
Yes flag.
-
@Coral: right? So bizarre.
-
I flagged them. So weird.
-
We've shut down all of the accounts, and blocked the IPs/computers posting them.
Many thanks to everyone who keeps flagging the odd threads and posts on the boards!
-
I flagged already. Suspicious.
-
How can you tell they were odd?
-
@pachamama: Usually it starts with a brand-new account talking about infertility and then another new account from the same ip will come along and recommend an ivf clinic in Ukraine.

Thanks for bringing this up! These new posters seem odd how they never reply or respond to their original posts. I miss the old HelloBee community from a few years ago. There seems to be a shift to so many people wanting to create their own blog or IG accounts to make extra money. I don't fault them. The extra income would be nice!

@mrbee: it's happening on the blog, too. I don't know how to flag blog comments, but see the Montessori Wardrobe post comments - a particular user is posting long spammy replies with links to clothing (I think? I didn't actually click them).
-
@PinkElephant: Better?
-
@mrbee: yup, you got them. Thanks!
