What you can't do to boost sales. Well of course. You need to spam every crack of the web.
Yes. There is more and more spam. And of course it's terribly annoying.

Annoyingly no native way on Freesound to report a profile as a spammer, (only able to flag their posts as spam).
If spammer profiles are posted in this thread maybe admin can inspect their activity and nuke them where necessary.

My power is limited to deleting comments. So I did.
There were a little more than 15 comments of the kind.

The tech's do search for the user and his/her behaviour and delete the user within a week. 🤓
This is my experience. Do not stress the tech's. The are busy already. 😎
