Lately, we’ve been dealing with spammers who use automatic registration and then try creating new topics with AI-generated content that looks like genuine requests for advice, but includes Amazon affiliate links. They usually mask those links with various URL shortener engines. They are able to respond to replies and even can chat in PM in a funny way. Has anyone experienced this? I wonder if, since these attempts seem to be fully automated, there would be plenty of other targeted Discourse forums. Do you have any advice on a strategy for cutting them loose?
