Hijacked discussions and other rants

Tweet

Don't you just love it when you're reading along about one subject and suddenly there's a comment that has absolutely nothing to do with the discussion, but draws attention to something the commenter wants to promote? Sometimes I want to report them, but I'm not sure if they have really broken any rules, except they're not adding anything of value to the discussion. I was reading a discussion just now where one member was looking for paid to write sites. The first comment changed the subject to paid to read and gave the names of several sites. I'll have to give them credit for not putting a referral link, but could they possibly think paid to write and paid to read were the same thing? Oh Yeah and while I'm ranting, I hate it when somebody puts comments in my profile with their banners promoting their money making sites! I delete them. Do you? One time I got so frustrated I messaged the person and told them not to spam my profile, That's what their profile was for!
