I'm not sure this is worth a MetaTalk thread. The AskMe will be deleted shortly, I'm sure.

I sense naivety rather than sinister motives. I have been wrong before but let's not quibble about the whole of my life up to this point.

It's so dodgy that someone can sign up and post to Projects on the same day.

I'm sick of giving spammers to this site more hits because the callouts don't specify what it is. The askme thread was posted 20 minutes ago. We can give mods a chance to take care of things.

And it's not innocent confusion. User posts project; user posts askme "question" that claims they "found" the site. This is (imbicilic) deceptive shilling. Ban and ban hard.
