Keeping the spammers in check

[Leo Ki]

You may be right. I have bad memories of hunting spammers when I was a mod on other forums in the past, this has probably made me oversensitive to the infestation.

Some of the latest spammers have a much smarter strategy though, they post long sensible (but bland) answers written by ChatGPT to stay under the radar - and add their links in the user profile or inconspicuously inserted in the message body.
