Someone made a post that is at least irrelevant to !keepwriting@lemmy.world and is asking people to pay money for their ebook, which would be considered unsolicited advertising, i.e. spam.

edit: If you want to appoint me as mod, that's fine, then I'll take care of it.

I removed the post from !keepwriting@lemmy.world. Though I have not banned the user or removed their other posts. At least not yet. Their repeated requests for ko-fi donations does look spammy, but they do link to free copies to their writing. In the post you referenced there's a Google Docs link to the book farther down. I'm not sure if the user is only here to panhandle or if they are just tone-deaf.

Sure thing. You are the mod now. The old mod appears to be long gone.

This happened also in curlyhair. I would also offer to mod that one.

[โ€“] zabadoh@ani.social 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

curlyhair? Posting that kind of link there is very suspiciously spammy/spambotty.

[โ€“] RBWells@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Yeah I deleted it. I googled and the company looks legit but ads don't belong there.

[โ€“] kersploosh@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Offer accepted. I made you the mod of !curlyhair@lemmy.world. The old mod hasn't been active for a long time.

Cool, I removed the post & will keep an eye on the community.

ETA, is it possible to modify the name to just "Hair"? I would like it to be more clear it's for all hair types.
