Its not been intolerable yet but is there any ways to tackle this so it it wont become one ?
Maybe if we can have a topic for mandatory presentation of new users. Only after that presentation, after validation, then users could post on different topics.
Or having a quarantine period, of one or two days, to allow posting only after that period.
No idea how to solve it, but I have seen similar problems also. Ping @René and @MiikkaSolmela
The irony is they don’t seem to realise how potentially dangerous for them (or the site they plan to spuik) it is to spam a forum full of people who specialise in automation
Configuring spam protection - Comprehensive Discourse Forum Setup and Management | StudyRaid had few configuration hints that might be helpful.
So there’s no interest at all to stop the bot replies with llm content and just wait until users flag the replies ?
