| Aug 20, 2016 at 10:35 | comment | added | terdon Mod | @luchonacho the "user" is most likely a spam bot taking random forum posts, injecting spam and posting them here. If they are human, they are already well aware that this is not allowed. Otherwise, why go to the trouble of hiding the spam link? No, this user knows exactly what they're doing. There's no point in warning them. | |

| Aug 17, 2016 at 12:37 | comment | added | terdon Mod | @anonymous2 yes, but they're still visible to search engines, presumably. I have now destroyed the user but I'll bet you the three that don't have links used to have them until someone edited them out. | |

| Aug 17, 2016 at 12:30 | comment | added | anonymous2 | Ok, of his 7 post, only 3 don't have links. However, some of his links aren't clickable because he put them inside backticks or codeblocks. | |

Here's another one by the same user: askubuntu.com/questions/803906/…. You'll look hard to find the link unless you go to edit.
