Deletd thread

FYI

Shortly after 5pm (EDT), a post appeared with a title in a foreign alphabet. The post was quickly deleted, presumably because it was a a first post and appeared to be spam. Before the post was deleted, I used Google to determine that the alphabet was Ukrainian (a version of Cyrillic) and that the message read "In my country there is no dealer in Kioti, please link trusted online store for filters."

In this case, what appeared to be spam was an innocent request for information. However, the poster certainly limited potential responses by his/her choice of language.

Edit: My apologies for the typo in the thread title -- apparently there is no way for me to correct the misspelling.

We speak English here Damnknit!!! J/k

In all fairness though, the site was hit VERY hard with spammers over the last day or so. I can't really blame the mods if a innocent post in a foreign language got dumped in the mess of spam. Hopefully the poster will come back with a google translated request.

I have seen a lot of similar posts in other threads that looked similar to that one. I always assumed they were some kind of spam, maybe next time I will check.
