Not very clear. After effort, I presume you are sort of pretending to mimic some spammish behavior you've seen on another forum as a warning of what we might see. Is that it?

(Might I suggest your future writing take the hackneyed approach: 1) tell your audience what you're going to tell them; 2) tell them; 3) tell them what you told them. Your jumping right in with simulated spam-speak, title and first words -- but confusingly unsubtle -- was hard for me to comprehend because the set-up was missing.)

So, I suspect that approach won't work here because new posters who offer up articles containing URLs, get their efforts suspended for inspection by human eyeballs. But, the initial (fake) poll or question might appear, because it doesn't contain URLs. However, it won't injure our eyes with damaging spam-rays, either.

Message received. OK. We are now alerted and on vigilant look-out for fake topics. I'm not sure how we will tell them from real ones, though, if the actual followup spam warhead gets intercepted.

Thanks, for the warning though. It's always unpleasantly fun to learn of spam tactics.
