A note to mods and newbies...... we need to be vigilant about who's posts get approved. A "Hi I'm new here and hope to get to know you" post is most likely a generic test to get approved. If a newbie post doesn't give specific info about their Flight Sim wants, experience, or knowledge, it should be DELETED.
correct, especially "hi i am new here" under the general section and not under the correct forum.

Also a big hint is when in their profile the location and occupation is the same: example: Location: Peru, Occupation: Peru

Keep a look out please mods.

Hi Mods

Please check this out. It definitely looks like spam. The content seems to serve no purpose, not asking a question or anything, but definitely the links below the body text is to spam sites.

This is under the Military Aircraft section, and the author calls themselves terry222.

Never open links from anyone especially in PM if you dont know the user or if the link looks suspect!

That particular spammer has now been banned.
