remove obvious spam thread

please see http://www.dbforums.com/mysql/164050...oesnt-5-x.html

the original poster has copied an entire thread from another site, then added a spam link inside it, cleverly disguised beside a link back to this same thread

the whole thread should be thrown

he's doing it again -- http://www.dbforums.com/adabas/16407...ses-query.html

this post was lifted directly from devshed.com (see first line), and he has "hidden" (in plain site) his link to http://www.tienphatjsc.vn/ right beside it

unrelated to this, you might also want to remove this post -- Pervasive.SQL 9 client with Pervasive.SQL 8 Server

nice to see someone is actually cleaning up the garbage, as there were multiple spam posts (cialis, lesbian pr0n, etc.) hanging around for several days

I've been a bit scarce online lately, dealing with personal issues.

Policing the junque should get better again in a few days. although I have no where near the time to devote to reading multiple forums and the cross forum policing that you did. I doubt that the thread/post policing will ever been done that well again.
