Before I make a thread about it, would it be against the no unpaid advertising rule to have a thread where GRMers post a link to their small business or side hustle?

While I like your instincts here, in practice I think it would just create a back door for people who don't support the forum to enjoy the fruits of our efforts for free, or at the very least a Mod time suck and chance to hurt people's feelings as we try to police links from true GRMers vs. opportunists.

Can we get "quickbooks" banned? Give it the es(ort treatment?

It's something we're considering, for sure. We do want to be careful of banning so many words that it interferes with enjoyment with the forums. Thank you for the suggestion!

As an aside, finding Quickbooks won't always work, as the spammers are using look-alike Unicode characters (called homoglyphs) that are not standard text, of which there are many. I know that your system allows you to evaluate text and modify it (a la Ford subcompact); if it can also refuse to accept a post, then the wildcard search string (a "regular expression") I posted in April should work, as it finds nonstandard text (that is, characters that don't belong to the standard ASCII set) and phone numbers, even if they have multiple characters between number groupings, e.g, 1-(203)-123 -4567.
Actually, now that I think about it, the forum now allows emojis, which are Unicode characters, so the string I provided won't work as written -- below, the part in bold would need to be modified to NOT exclude emojis (the italicized part finds phone numbers with up to three characters between number groupings.

Plus, the usual bunch of early morning canoe artists in the GRM section.
How is this forum seems to be the absolute worse for this spamming? This morning it was nothing but these posts.
