That is a good idea , new members only allowed to post links to soundcloud ?
This is not what I mean. We all know that there are other sites than Soundcloud to share or to sell music. Similarly, if someone asks a question about music theory (for example), it seems obvious that there is no problem if you put a link to a site that provides some answers.
I think the only thing these fake users are looking for is someone who will click on these links. The blah blah around these links is only powder to the eyes to fall asleep the forum users. You can see that when someone answers these fake users, they do not respond (they usually do not write more than one message per false account). It is even possible that these fake users are bots (which could explain the interventions completely off-topic, Idk). So, why respond to a bot? Or why to respond to someone who will not read/answer you? You could answer me that it might interest other users, ok, but letting these fake accounts swarm, it will become hell here.
Personally, when I receive unwanted advertising in my mailbox, I immediately throw it in the trash. Likewise, when a company phones me to sell me anything, I do not waste my time listening to it.
It is true that we take the risk of banning someone who comes for "good reasons", but how could this person justify the presence of advertising links for applications or other products unrelated to LMMS or music, and this from his first message?
