Reply To: Spam bots are getting worse again

Yeah, same here. It’s not the old-school obvious junk either, which is the annoying part — some of it’s clearly scripted, but a lot of it’s just enough variation to slip past the dumb filters. If you’re seeing the same accounts coming back after cleanup, I’d look at whether they’re rotating IPs / proxies or just reusing the same signup pattern with slightly different text. That’s usually where the junk starts to feel “worse” even when volume isn’t insane. We’ve had better luck tightening the signup friction a bit and watching the logs for repeat behavior instead of trying to catch every post after the fact. Once they figure out one hole, they just keep hammering it.
