Quick post since I've started to notice this happening, my Guestbook is not a place for you to advertise your own websites and social medias, I've noticed people have been starting to use my Guestbook not to send actual messages to me but rather to advertise their own websites / accounts on social media. Any further advertising posts will be deleted.
I'm genuinely not sure why people are doing this, is my site really that popular? I don't know, but regardless it's really not appreciated. My Guestbook is meant as a place for you to get in touch with me specifically, whether it's to leave a quick compliment or ask a question. If you really want people to visit your site, advertising on guestbooks is not the way to go. People will find your work with time naturally.
ive been getting bombarded with porn bots posting shady links so i had to set my guestbook to by approval only, ive nevr really gotten people givng self promotions but i feel like changing the setting deters that behaviour
