As for today's peeve, how often here on GC do you see a first, or at least a very early post, from a newbie that is an overtly or a thinly veiled advertising post?
Without further ado the POTD is;
Newbies trying to advertise on General Chat.
Anyone want to buy a car?
Low mileage, one careful owner............
Haha - love the car ad, Jez.
It's a great peeve. Especially as a Mod, I'm frequently annoyed by those ads and spam posts that pop up. I've noticed that, for some reason, January seems to be a particularly busy month for spammers.
Help your friendly neighborhood Moderator by reporting ads, folks!

Happy Birthday to you....Happy Birthday to you....Happy Birthday Dear Molly.....have a bone or two on me. From rural's dog Kelsey.
Yes I don't like those advertising posts. Unknowingly I clicked on one and went to the site once upon a time and got a heck of a virus from the site. I saw the one the other day and should have reported it....sorry. I will in the future.
Just be careful. Report the wrong thing at the wrong time someone will bust your butt. Yep, be careful being too helpful.
Yeah, got slapped a couple of times. Unless it's blatant I let someone else do it. I' won't make the effort if I'm going to get hassled about it. If it's not a "bad" post don't rag on me, just don't do anything about it.
And I'm probably in trouble for this post, too.
