Okay, I'm dying right now. Something incredibly pathetic is happening on the forums and while I've dealt with it with diligence and laughter, I think it's time to put an end to it.
I don't usually publicly ask for corrective measures against members, only having done so once in the past (and I'd very much rather not do this kind of intervention), but their persistance is proof that they aren't simply making a mistake without realizing it. Furthermore, the deceptive nature of the situation at hand only adds more weight to the perception that this user's intents are malicious and selfish.
A user here is scrubbing the forum for opportunities to generate money for their own website. The website has an alarming amount of ads, some of which present themselves as deceptive pages replicating some well-known sites (like YouTube, Google or Facebook), prompting the user to take some actions which could cause them to constantly receive pop-up notifications on their device, install malware, getting their credit card info stolen or ending up calling a tech support scam number.
It is a very serious problem as not everyone here are tech-savvy enough to be able to distinguish between these harmful ads and the real deal. By the mere nature of this place, a tech support forum, there is a high number of people who would be vulnerable to this situation.
So I propose, no, I beg that someone, anyone, will take the following actions:
1- Ban the user. This is not the first such "trick" they employed to make easy money from this platform
2- In the future, ban all links that lead to personal websites that have ads or beg for money. In this case, the website that was linked didn't even cost money to operate, being a free blog hosted by Blogger (Google).
PS: The aforementioned blog is quite a disaster. With a "per minute" visit counter which is in reality an "all time" visit counter, the previously mentioned ad mess and now a donation button (🤣🤣🤣donate to support their blog they say, lol!) and the shamelessly stolen content, it's not even a worthy addition to the forum.
Why don't you give his (her ) name,i t's not the first time this person does that and if Samsung's Moderators don't ban this person it will continue again and again. Tallman show us some pop-up windows that are generate by all the links provided by @Makeanimationssmooth.
@Tallman also advertise than the website provide can broke our Samsung's device, where is the Samsung's Members Manager to resolve this junk ?
If Moderators don't do nothing, this mean this forum is a real free for all and anybody can do what they want without sanctions and this is inacceptable.
@Makeanimationssmooth intents are malicious and selfish. Moderators, please do something.

All regulars Samsung's Members Users know how this person act since the beginning to make money and to became a Expert by stoling everybody articles or links like if he was the author and like YOU i think Enough is Enough.
If Moderators don't care when this person give us malecious links, who will care about Samsung's Members Users ? Can we excuse Somebody that is always making trouble only because he say : Oh, i'm sorry, i corrected this mistake ?
Everything this person does is not for the benefict of this forum, the only thing he wants is to make money even if that implicate the corruption of your device by stoling your personnal informations.
Can't a user help other users? The blog's a collection of articles that are helpful for a platform such as this where people are in demand of help. If there are people looking for help, they shouldn't scramble everywhere in search of help.
You're not here to help. You're here to make a quick buck. Your pathetic blog is a collection of stolen content from other websites. If there are people looking for content, they shouldn't be inundated with malicious ads. Make your own content and don't self-promote it. The End.
