LQ Bookmarks unrelated to computers even


What's the deal with LQ Bookmarks getting cluttered up with things that are not only unrelated to Linux or Open Source, but completely unrelated to computers? I mean, stuff like Real Estate Directory, Art Displays, Interior Decorating? It clutters the displays of recent and popular bookmarks. It's just like getting email without a spam filter. Does anyone filter and remove this stuff? Or is there even a policy regarding it? If you look at recent tags, most of it is commercial.

IIRC, Bookmarks are on the todo list

Actually, I notice that "property" "realtor" "mortgage" "marketing" "loan""listings" "insurance" "inspection" "house" "estate" "condo" "builder"? "wedding" "appraisal" "agent"? All seem very out of place in the tag listing.

Every once and a while a spammer gets through the defenses. If you ever see something you think is spam, feel free to report it and we'll remove it ASAP.
