Ah, thanks for pointing that out. It did seem a little spammy, but I was giving hir the benefit of the doubt.
Next time my spam-sense tingles, I'll check their posting history before deciding whether to reply or flag.
- dalke 14y agoWhich wouldn't have helped here - new account with no history. BTW, interesting combination of 'his' and 'their' as two different ways to express the genderless third person singular. :)
- EvilTerran 14y agoWell, I'd flag a spammy-looking first post as spam when I'd give the same post from an established account the benefit of the doubt, so it would've helped in its own way. I'm trying to get into the habit of genderless singular pronouns, hence "hir", but, TBH, simply forgot to when I typed "their" instead of "eir". I guess singular "their" just seems less jarring to me than singular "them", for some subconscious reason.
