Increase in spam

Looks like there's been an increase in spam users lately. They seem to like replies with quoted text but then add a link in the quote.

Please let me know if you see anything that looks even a little bit suspicious.

Doing some great work lately, Leevi.

No posts since 11/27/23, but as I'm going through things catching up, it looks to me like Miakosa is a spammer:

Username miss55 is direct messaging me. Obviously a spam user with malicious intent. Look out for these types of messages with links to other sites.

I'll delete them now.

I don't monitor personal messages… because you know they are personal :)

Deleted!

Breakout 12 looks to be a spammer.

Thanks

User jennylance looks suspiciously like a bot

Deleted.

Thanks Leevi

I think both the late responses to this event post of mine are spam. They seem to have upped their game using AI ChaptGPT types of software to make replies that almost make sense on the surface, but these are too late to make sense with this event and just regurgitate info from my post...

Yep both spam, both deleted.
