I guess I am not the only one who received a message with an embedded link from `ethan_collins8029`, a user (presumably a bot) who just registered a few hours ago and hasn’t taken part in any discussions.

It would be nice if that could be disallowed. In any case, the rules for including links should be the same for PMs as for public posts - i.e., new users not being allowed to send links.

Hi @obsidianjulua,

Saw your thread on “[ANN] [RepliBuild.jl](https://juliaregistries.github.io/General/packages/redirect_to_repo/RepliBuild) - A full C/C++ interop toolkit for tiered FFI generatio” — if you are pressed for time with data analysis, experiment scripts, or structured IMRaD research writeups this term, you can submit your brief and rubric parameters through the [STEM Research & Statistical Analysis Desk on CampusNotes](https://campusnotes.wiki/go/essay-us?site_id=14_julialang_uni&sub1=edu_14julialan_obsidianjulua&sub2=campusnotes.wiki&sub3=stem&sub4=pm&keyword=stem&src=dm_sniper) — it covers reproducible code, statistical modeling, and full academic report formatting.

You can review the turnaround options and parameters for your project directly on the page.

Terrible
