As you can see from the forum, we get hammered pretty hard with spam around here. Awhile back we got hit with horrible downpour of spam that lasted months. One of the ways we tried to combat spam was to have this forum so members could report spam and have the spam removed, and the user account it came from de-activated. Though that horrible downpour is over, it has created a highly sensitive, efficient group of users who hunt down things they perceive as spam that gets users removed usually within an hour or two.

Last night I saw your message get caught in the spam filter and removed it. But I was too slow. You were already caught and reported and here we are. I'd ask the members not to report your profile in this case. But please note that, if anyone opens up an old question to answer it, those answers get reported. People notice such things. And if you resurrect an old question and put a link to a product in there (even if the product was free and it was perfectly helpful to the question) and then you link to your company's blog post (even if that blog post may have good intentions) your answer and your account will get reported, just as you've seen happen here.

I've removed that answer and the reports from your account. Please avoid posting links to Stackify products and blog posts in the future, unless it is on your Product Showcase articles.
Thanks,
Sean Ewington
