Why is the Canon Forum time-wasting?

Why is the Canon Forum time-wasting?  I received an email notice that I had received a message, but no message appeared when I logged in to the Canon Forum.

Was the Canon Forum sending out messages randomly in order to encourage site traffic?

Ah I see, apologies Canon Forum, it was a spam marketing message from some miserable demented excuse for a sub-human.

I received a message from Erinhenry (New Contributor) who posted a new reply in Printer/Multifunction Support on 11-17-2017 03:54 PM in the subject:

Re: MG5420 "error-printing" message (wireless not working) 

When I went to the Canon Forum to check, there was no message and there was no Erinhenry when I searched users.

Strange. Perhaps someone (moderator) can explain why this happened.

These were the actions of a spam bot that has since been removed from our lovely community. We apologize for the inconvenience.
