I think he's referring to the new accounts that are made simply to post advertisements and web addresses on threads.

Jaysi is correct. It is annoying me mainly because it makes me go look at the topic to see what somebody has wrote, then I see it is just some random account advertising Nikes, so I was just wondering if there was actually any way to deal with it except to try and ban them and delete the posts as fast as they come, like a 50 times more annoying version of whack-a-mole. I only started seeing it happen very recently too, I wonder if it is the same person?

Gonna unlock this for just a moment to add this; when you see spam like this, do not quote it. If you quote it, you're helping the spammers because it tags Google with those links more times and gives them more priority on Google searches (which is why the spammers do this in the first place). Also, when we're playing whack-a-mole with a bunch of spam posts, it's entirely possible to see a quoted spam post and mistake it for the actual spam post... I accidentally banned someone earlier today because of that. Just report and then ignore it.
