I’m curious what everyone thinks about the posts that have shown up here that are simply a link to purchase an item on Amazon?

These posts are coming from users that don’t have any other engagement other than these posts. This does not seem like a good-faith effort to engage with the community, but rather a cheap attempt to generate clicks and sales.

I would like to see these posts banned, but I’m curious how the rest of the community feels.

    Yeah, that’s what I was figuring as well. This is one downside to not allowing downvotes… they would get buried pretty quickly if we could downvote them.

      Oh that’s funny, I forgot beehaw didn’t have downvotes. I actually can downvote and see the downvotes, but maybe those are just going off into the ether.
