More spam..!
Getting heartily sick of it, and the wilful refusal of Capture One to do anything about it, so as I proposed earlier, I've just sent this as a request - maybe now they'll take the hint:
Sort the forum out..! At least provide a proper tool for blocking/flagging spam:
Interestingly, this post needs to be approved - presumably because of the links, despite them already being present on the forum!

Hi Keith,
Thanks for your observation.
The above-mentioned spam links have been removed.

Thanks, Maryna, but what about the spam-reporting tool that we have been asking for?

It is likely well off focus :-)
Like you, I experience that a "foreign" link in a posting makes it subject to approval. I can see my posting carrying a blue label saying "Pending approval" while the posting is not available to other users.
Unless we both figure in a Capture One blacklist or at least a dark-grey-list, it is reasonable to assume that the approval requirement is triggered by foreign links, meaning links pointing to non-Capture One sites
Now, those spam articles contain links, plus there is often a url in the subject. Capture One can probably explain why spam postings are approved.
Edited to add:
This posting contains no links and was immediately made available to other forum members. A posting I made an hour ago is still pending approval, that one contains a link to an aritcle at the pepapixel site.
