Are unsolicited emails common after making a first post?

Hello, I only joined yesterday and made my first post asking for some feedback which was kindly responded to by some Shopify partners.

Sadly, I am now receiving unsolicited emails and Facebook messages from people touting for business, marketers, app developers and the like. Running 2 businesses I really don’t have time to be sorting the spammers from the customers. Has anyone else had any issues? I really wanted to use this valuable resource but not if it means I receive unwanted messages!

Hi, I’m sorry to hear that.
I have talked with the team here on the forums and they have hidden the post where you asked for feedback from Google. We removed the topic link from the Google search console which is usually the first port of call when this happens. It will take a few days to update but that should help since people won’t find your post as easy. Outside of that, we can also remove the topics completely from the forum. Let me know if you would want to do that.

Thank you so much, the messages seem to have stopped so that’s good.
