Who doesnt love spam?!? HA HA :lol: I know right!?!? :silent:
Most of it is automated clickbait. As far as I know (generally, not specific to this site) it comes down to a balance between protecting against spam bots and accessibility for real accounts. It does come in spurts like Tracie said. As the methods for attack change, the success rate changes until updates can be applied. It works similarly to antivirus programs in that regard. Best thing to do as mentioned is to just report it when you see it. Not a huge deal as it's pretty obvious (so far) what is real and what is clickbait.

Yeah. It's annoying for sure. I've noticed some new tactics on some, where it looks like a real person. They post a simple and relevant reply on a topic or two, but in their signature (or end of message) is a simple link advertising something.
