We are aware of these attempts. We're implementing some fixes to the system to prevent, but for now, e-mail webteam@linux.com anytime you get these things, and try to ID the user so we can kick them off immediately. There will be zero-tolerance of spamming, via forums, e-mails, and DMs.

It won't be long before there will be posts directing us to cheap Nike gear from a Chinese website. That's what continues to happen on the interactive fiction usenet group.
