So, just about everyday, I visit the same four sub-forums on C-D. For some reason, THIS one gets spammed almost nightly by weird new accounts either trying to link us to some weight loss site, or just some random new poster that has nothing to say and adds the same paragraph to 10 different threads (I guess maybe a bot trying to get their post count up?).
Anyway, why is this happening here? Is this forum unmoderated so maybe it happens to all the forums and these just don't get removed? Or is it the subject matter of dieting/weight loss that attracts the spam?
I think this can be a good forum when you get into some of the good posts, but there's so much spam I'm tending to stay away.
You can just skip or report. Unfortunately like many forums where people are either presumed desperate or looking for a quick fix spammers think they’ll find the next sucker.
You folks who are trying to lose weight should not use spam. It's highly caloric.
For awhile it was the food forum.... but, report spam so the mods know, we don't read every single post, so reporting helps a lot.
