Can somebody please clean it up? I can't stand to look at it at the moment as I went through three pages of spam. Thank you!
Yeah, see what you mean! Think it's the same person who's been spamming my email with some gift site from hubpages
I go through fits and starts where I need a lot of inspiration and I love the Q&A section. Some of our members (yourself included, Cindy) have some awesome ideas for hubs and are kind enough to share them in the Q&A area. So this is not only ridiculous, it is disruptive!
And oddly, I don't think it's helping them at all? I didn't view the profile so I don't know if they have a link to their site there.
I got one to, did you make sure to mark as spam? within the hubpages options?
Great to see a response to the pollution of Q&A. I tend to go to this section of Hubpages regularly. I like adding, responding and reading all the wonderful ideas from all of you.
It disturbed me to see spam and either there was a sticky key somewhere or an ignorance or simply an act that was intentional - nevertheless, just checked and cleaned up.
Thanks once again to a wonderful HubPages tech team!

I along with others are tired of the never ending spam in the Q and A section. Some of us prefer the more civil (well sometimes more civil) Q and A over the forums. Please start something that slows the overwhelming amount of spam that has been there lately. Implement something that keeps newbies...

There has been a lot of discussion in the last few days about HP changing the rules and people being un-featured or even un-published for spam and over promotional activity. So I just want to add my thoughts......Whether people (writers) like it or not most of their traffic will be coming from...
