No, but it is certainly not on topic. It has absolutely nothing to do with wood working.

Interpretation Please. What is the criteria for "on topic"? Surely it does not exclude all discussions that are about other than woodworking.

If it does - we are "not on topic".

As for the original topic, I am in observe mode re the potential spam.

The OP's post does not belong in "General Woodworking". The criteria for "on topic" comes directly from the forum definition...

"General Woodworking
This is a forum for intermediate to advanced woodworkers. Show off your projects or share your ideas. "

The OP's post is off topic for this forum. It belongs in the "Community" form if you think it deserves to be here at all.

As far as I am concerned we are on topic because the OP's post was off topic to begin with by the very definition of the topics for this forum. If you want to nit pick then move the discussion to the Community forum and link it back to this thread.

So any new member that posts "off topic", should be disapproved and banned? Replying to an "off topic" doesn't make two wrongs a right. So ANY "off topic" post should be deleted?
