- A user given a spam1 template for inserting reasonably relevant
external links into three articles.
I wouldn't suggest opening the links this user was adding. They
crashed my browser with popups. There are far better places to link
for exchange information. For example, the official sites for the
exchanges, ... which also are not just advert laden mirrors of public
data.
A google link: search for the domain he was adding has no results.
It could well be good faith link additions,.. but the account came
back to life after two years of inactivity and has since done little
more than add links a single sites links to a half dozen accounts ...
At first blush this looks like it may be an old account that was
compromised for spamming purposes.
I'd say that the crime here that templating was unoptimal.
How should this have been handled?
