Is it necessary to post 4 different ads within a minute of each other with the exact same words/topic? What does ESA consider to be spam and what's the policy for it?

Those are not always done intentional but happen due to some computer related issues coupled with the poster not prepare to wait for the screen to change, then pressing enter multiple times trying to achieve that.

I agree it is very "messy" at times on here..

Or when Cape Town gets a spike in the number of girls, but in reality it's only 30 profiles from 4 Russians.

I fully understand if this is the case, with the case I'm talking about, this happens everyday. There's no way the poster has computer related issues everyday. They are treating the forum like it's Gumtree.

I find it also very irritating, but she is not the only "spammer" around.

Maybe somebody should show her how to post, without quadrupling the same thread.

I dislike it and find it to be irritating, I simply skip those advertisements by SPs on the Forum.

I suppose the SP is of the opinion that such a form of advertising is good for business??

there are 2 or 3 SP's who do that every single day. It's so annoying having to search through the spam to find relevant posts
