I have a question around this - yesterday morning I saw a DW working as a real estate blog, linking out to the actual real estate blog site here and there. The business owner seems to own and write the blog and the content looks to be personally written.

So I debated reporting it since I like to help DW kick out spam but couldn't decide how it'd fall into DW guidelines. The account had no subscriptions/subscribers/access to or from and was recently created (but I don't know if I could even find it now since my history's since cleared).

My question is, if I see that sort of thing in the future, should I file a spam report on it? If it confuses me enough to doubt if I should report it, like the blog mentioned above basically did, should that be my guide right there (in other words, should I not report it if it seems "authentically written" enough, even if it does seem to exist only to point back to or highlight another website the journal owner owns)?
