This account appears to be an aggressive spammer:
https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/show_user.php?userid=2368591

No computers
No credits

So far 11 posts talking about baseball etc.
The posts include links to external sites that might be malware.

I suggest not to follow the links.
Instead the account should be deleted and the posts should be hidden to avoid trouble.

I keep reporting these accounts and their posts but I'm not sure someone is reading the said reports.

A lot of boinc projects use "minimum rac" to post on forum.
Why Rosetta not?

I stopped bothering a while back.
Not a single problem post report has been acted on in the last 6 months or more.

That makes at least three of us reporting them.

If nothing is done expect an exponential increase in spam posts as word gets around.

No mods whatsoever. That's why we can have free ranging discussions totally not related to this project.

Please, insert a minimum quorum to post, it's not difficult on boinc server
