Spam

Hey girls!

Looks like over the past few days we've been getting quite a few AI spambot posts. They're actually pretty decent at sounding like they're talking about whatever subject is being discussed in the thread.

If you see an old post resurrected with a random addition to the conversation or just something that seems out of place, hit that report button in the top right corner of the post in question so I can delete and ban those posts / users.

It will almost always be a post from a user with no avatar / signature and they often include a link to somewhere/something in their post.

It's been pretty harmless so far, but I'd still like to keep our community genuine and filled with replies from real people rather than bots, so I appreciate the extra sets of eyes so I don't miss anything!

Thanks!!

I've been reporting them as I see them. I used to work in digital marketing and hated when spam bots gave us a bad name.
 
I was noticing them but wasn't 100% sure it was spam since it sounded so legit! So I didn't hit that report button. Darn technology!
 
Got it!
How do you want us to report it?

Click on the red triangle in the top right corner of the spam post.

Yeah, the AI stuff has gotten so good that it actually sounds relevant and real as part of the discussion. It's really weird!

FB even has a bot that I turned off that will "chat" with users in your FB group to "keep activity going" - times are a changing!
 
Thank you so much for all you do dear Robin, for sure I'm gonna report it when I suspect something.
