Marketing on the membership list

Post by jimhabegger »

Looking through the membership list for people I know, I see that some of the character names are URLs of marketing websites, with user names that are random combination of letters. Should I report that to someone?

Can you explain more? Membership list for the forum? Is it the usename that's a link or is it the url in the users profile? If its the link in their profile It's possible that those are domains which have been expired and transferred to another owner. Although now useless, WayBackMachine might be able to pull up some useful information if they hosted fan pages.

Sorry, I didn't notice the column heading. On my PC, the fourth column heading is "Character Name(s), Website," but I didn't see that before. I only saw that most of the entries in that column were character names, but on some lines the only entry in that column is the URL of a marketing website, for example for an online pharmacy, superfood drinks or male enhancement. For examples, search in the membership list for usernames "kjifhp," "rldawnca" and "ehccxp."
