Gone now.

Pretty sure Farfare is a bot. Nice one with some AI but he feels like a bot.

There were three of them (from two bots). They are now all gone.

NDMS1967 or The New Delhi Metal Shop

It's gone now.

By Mike West (Mjwest) on Tuesday, August 20, 2024 - 07:15 pm: Edit

Two more are now gone from the FC Forums.

Mike check out Cabin in...

Just reads like a bot. I could be wrong but don't think so.

By Mike West (Mjwest) on Thursday, August 22, 2024 - 03:56 pm: Edit

If you look at the "WWW" link button (but don't click it!), I am assuming it is a spam post written by AI. However, as long as they are on-topic, not a non-sequitur, and don't have any bad embedded links, I tend to leave them be.

By Dal Downing (Rambler) on Tuesday, August 27, 2024 - 09:45 am: Edit

Looks like the AI alarm woke them up about a dozen post on the FC Forums.

By Garth L. Getgen (Sgt_G) on Tuesday, August 27, 2024 - 12:46 pm: Edit

I came here to post the same thing. I especially liked the ones that say "reach out to ADB or monitor their official website" all the while posted on ADB's official web site and in one case responding to SVC's post. Too funny.

Yeah, not sure what caused the sudden surge of multiple spammers.

Anyway, tried to clean out a bunch of them.

Spammer in FED POLICE SHIP

Splurge of spammers in the FC Forum this morning. All have been deleted.

By Mike West (Mjwest) on Monday, October 14, 2024 - 03:47 pm: Edit

Another splurge on spammers in the FC Forum. Been about two weeks from the last surge. Weird. All have been deleted, plus a couple others were cleaned out while I was at it.

By Mike West (Mjwest) on Thursday, October 17, 2024 - 10:47 pm: Edit

Cleaned out a spam post and an innocent reply from the FC Forum.

By Mike West (Mjwest) on Sunday, October 20, 2024 - 07:50 pm: Edit

Deleted a couple posts in some language I didn't immediately recognize. Weird.

By Garth L. Getgen (Sgt_G) on Wednesday, October 23, 2024 - 07:05 pm: Edit

I count eighteen (18) spam posts on the FedCmdr board today. Sorry to the bearer of bad news, Mike.

Yeah, I just noticed it. Don't know why multiple different spammers decided that today was the day for all of them.

They're all gone now.

By Steve Stewart (Stevestewart) on Wednesday, October 30, 2024 - 11:59 am: Edit

Several spam entries for Indian metal, digital marketing and mental harassment in Fed Cdr General Discussion.

By Mike West (Mjwest) on Thursday, October 31, 2024 - 07:02 pm: Edit

Sorry for the delay. They are gone now. Plus another one in a different topic, too.

By Garth L. Getgen (Sgt_G) on Tuesday, November 26, 2024 - 12:39 pm: Edit

Six spam topics on FedCmdr board, plus to AI-bot replies to necro old topics.

It was way more than six posts by the time I got there a few minutes ago. They should all be cleaned out. However, there were enough that I could have missed one. If I did, I'll come back and get it.

By Steve Stewart (Stevestewart) on Tuesday, December 03, 2024 - 07:32 am: Edit

A number of spam posts have appeared in the Fed Cdr General Discussion topic. Good taste prevents me from detailing the exact subject of one of the the posts.

By Mike West (Mjwest) on Tuesday, December 03, 2024 - 11:23 am: Edit

They've all been cut off.


Heh heh ...
