A screenshot of a comment waiting in our comment moderation queue. The original entry contains the author, IP address, provided email, and provided website URL as metadata, all of which we've redacted. The comment body reads: "This platform allows you to get in touch with experts for temporary hazardous missions. You can easily arrange support for specialized needs. All contractors are qualified in managing complex operations." [The post is interrupted here by the HTML syntax for a hyperlink. We've blocked out the href value (the actual target of the hyperlink) while leaving in the rest. The display text for the link is "hire a killer". Then the post continues:] "Our platform guarantees private interactions between requesters and workers. Whether you need immediate help, the site is the right choice. Submit a task and match with a skilled worker in minutes!"
