WATCH OUT FOR CAMOUFLAGED LINKS!
Today we had a spammer who quoted posts with links to TXP topics therein and, after adding some words to the end of the post, changed only the quoted link’s URL to contain the one s/he wanted to spread. That way s/he had the correct Textile syntax and a nicely camouflaged link in a perfect TXP theme environment.
Please watch out for these camouflaged links! We can’t know what piracy techniques the target pages might contain.
I know there are also some of you forum members having an eye on spammers and reporting continually, whose work I very much appreciate. Please try to spot this kind of links, too, and report them. Thank you!

Re: WATCH OUT FOR CAMOUFLAGED LINKS!
Encouraging to see such watchfulness and activity. Looks like Txp is my choice, since anti-spam is a high priority with me.
Besten Dank, Uli und Els et al.
Raw newcomer, have not yet installed Txp. (Multi small domains on iPage)
