I'm on a bit of a tirade...

I'm seeing an uptick in people hawking writing services, etc.

This is not the Forum for that. Period. Answering questions is MAYBE on topic, but not posts specifically to hawk services or try to rope in writers.

I see some that are possibly clever attempts to work around screening.

This is not the Forum for that, either.

I'll cut some slack for edge cases that might be legitimate; but if the clever attempts increase, no more slack.

I'm going to start deleting these without warning. THIS is your warning. Most of you don't need it; but if you're trying to be an active participant here, try intelligently participating on other threads before posting suspicious topics.

No, I'm not in a bad mood, I just don't have the time and patience to be gentle.
