Prusa Groups abused?

I noticed number of Prusa Groups with suspuicious descriptions and content.

Looks like spamming with fishy links.

Admins should check it out.

Ouch. Wasn't even aware of that feature. Looks like the spammers are finding the lesser-used portions of the Prusa sites. Hopefully someone will get on it.

This disgusting movie spam frequently shows up at thingyverse too.

It's basically trying to gain rainking on search engines by having more links to their crap page from "legitimate" sources. Areas with user generated content are easy targets.

It seems Pruša do not bother by using his site for link farm spamming...
