A review recently appeared advertising a writing service, but I can't find the member profile of the writer. Is this a new way of hacking and spamming Connosr?

That's what it looks like. A clever way of sneaking in a sales pitch that is totally irrelevant to the subject matter discussed on this site. This kind of stuff should be flagged and removed immediately. We shouldn't even dignify it by commenting.

I wondered if it's a hack too. No user is registered to post.

^^ would be nice if a review featured a "report this review" to the moderators with the option to report spam / junk mail and to not interrupt genuine whisk(e)y ratings

@BlueNote , I don't think any of us really "dignified" it by commenting. Quite the opposite, and none more than you! Nice work.

@Nozinan – Apologies, we didn't spot the review but the user had been removed hence the phantom-effect. Spammed not hacked, thankfully.

@Frost – There will be a 'report content' feature on the new site.

In the mean time, if you do see spam content, you can email the URL to support@connosr.com and we'll deal with it promptly.

Many thanks, @jean-luc
