The spammers now use ChatGPT to generate more-or-less sensible replies to forum threads and sneak a link into them for spam or SEO. While the industry is exploring ways to counter this (including using ChatGPT itself as a spam detector, ha), I'm pondering about a different approach based on early trapping:
The spammers seem to generate only one post per user account, so how about configuring the system so that a new user, for the first post, has access to posting to only one special forum folder called The Passage or something, to say hello. The bots will post whatever they want in there and stop short.
