I've been seeing a number of threads where the first post is either "Link Removed" or a (very) short message and "Link Removed".
In many cases, it appears the link was removed by the original poster almost immediately; eg posted 3 hrs ago by UserX and the post includes a note "Last edited by UserX: 3 hours ago"
In the others, the "Display last edited by message?" was apparently unchecked,
A minor annoyance, but one with which I would happily do without….
EDIT:
Just caught one of these (a new post at the end of a thread) where the post showed as having been made 4 min ago and the link deleted (by the poster) 3 min ago
A year or so back a youtuber decided to make a video telling people they can make money by making an ad link to other peoples videos then posting it on this forum, even since we have been spammed by people who think an ad link will make them rich, all it does is spam, the forum and get them banned.
The edit was most likely the poster trying to repost the link after the link was automagically removed on them the first time, some will edit their thread later to add a link thinking it will bypass the filter, which it doesn't.
Do report any posts with 'link removed' so we can deal with them.
Also youtube seem to not care that this video targetted this forum for spam and are yet to take it down
THX for speedy reply. Unsurprised by Youtube's attitude
