I'm sure I'm not the only one who's noticed more devious spammers / astroturfers recently (more so on other forums: but it appears to be getting widespread) - folk who post 5 maybe 10 random and inoffensive posts on a range of topics followed days later by "This company X are great".
To those of you who dont rise early of a morning most of this will appear less of an issue (a lot - not all - of it is deleted at the start of office hours) - but bear with me....
On here I noticed earlier that the user name of the last poster on spam posts (when you hover over it) is suffixed with
"-spam".
What a clever idea.
And - Im not referring specifically to any one STW post (the mech hangers thing wasnt too far off though -also there was a chap who chipped in to everything bike related for a few days then got the -spam suffix for I dont know what).
So what should / can we ask for / or do? Just be sceptical as ****. Have an an "L" plate for a week for new registers?
