Several companies hid spam in what looked superficially like a userpage. Therefore I treated these pages as spam and blocked the spammers. Others seemed to be using their uerpages for commercial promotion of their own work so I also treated these as spam. For some reason Wikiindex is v to their products. There is certainly a risk that inocent work can be mistaken for spam. [[User:Proxima Centauri|Proxima Centauri]] 14:37, 21 August 2009 (EDT) | |||
