I won't have the time. I am invited by Google Ad to swim more often.

I'm sure everyone would prefer their matures warm and tender, rather than cold stiff and and chewy. :lol:

That's not spam, though. The site supports ads to get revenue. I thought you meant a spam post, but this is just an example of the normal site ads.

No I was asking people to keep an eye out for what has been a slightly more sophisticated attempt to spam the forum. The new users are posting questions that are getting answers and if it's not a person setting up the account it may be using an ai content bot.

Oh, right, yes. My reply was about Olli's screenshot and thought you posted it (missed the user name).

Check out this new user:

memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=19526

100% bet it's a bot. Guaranteed.

I finally pierced the secret of this mysterious repetitive noise that I hear frequently everywhere : << Eke squeak... Eke squeak... Eke squeak... Eke squeak... >> which sometimes turns into a << Quicky squeak... Quicky squeak... Quicky squeak... >> and of which I cannot express the ultimate refrain.

In a first step, I deleted all users with Post=0 and where a strange website was stored.
But only 3-4 months back.

There were about 30-40 of them.

I really want to thank 'Google Ad' which, it seems, is really neutral, so neutral, and over time too, hour after hour, day after day. Strange when I haven't changed anything... Perfect neutrality, 5/5, congratulations Google Ad!

Its robot seems to have gone on a strange journey.
