Spam, spam, spam, spam, spam?

" Is it worth reporting these answers?

Yes, absolutely worth reporting them.

"all promoting Amazon"

It's called Amazon affiliation links. If you roll your mouse over their links and see a "tag" in their url, then report them.

" how odd - I can't imagine them getting involved in this kind of criminality"

Yea, well, welcome to the real world. They have been doing this for years.

" Does YA! have any kind of bot for deleting these answers?"

Yea, US, the decent users of YA that would like to have a decent place to post and answer questions

On another note, can you provide a link/example to this spam please ???

Worth reporting - definitely. It'll up your trust rating for future reports.

I'm sure they do have a spam-deleting bot. I notice how Chandigarh call-girl spam is removed within a minute or so these days, along with the accounts posting it: far too fast for manual intervention.

But I guess with a new spam format, it takes them time to spot the format and get it programmed in.

There bot is more about picking up spam in questions. They will eventually catch it, but you should also report it. If all users reported it would soon disappear.

Hi,

1) Dead Parrot 2) Lumberjack
