Lately theres been a bit of spam on the forums of people selling hang bags, phones, wallets,ect. Why all of a sudden has this happened?
The spam isn’t a new thing. It comes in at a regular trickle.
The luggage and handbag spam actually came from usenet and not the unicyclist.com forums. The r.s.u. forum here pulls in posts from the rec.sport.unicycling usenet group. Usenet groups have to deal with spam too.
Always a good time to remind folks not to respond to it, and instead to click the little exclamation point inside a red triangle icon at the bottom of the posting, and report it to the forum moderator.
