For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I spotted them earlier also Ringlet, and decided to give them a wide berth. I think Eddie responded to one of them, so if he is online perhaps he could shed some light. I would think that the tech bods would have checked them out or maybe the EDs content invigilators have decided that they are harmless. Still I will give them a swerve.
I assume most are genearted by bots, since I can't imagine people sitting there setting up so many email addresses and user names and then activating them.
I think even if the threads are deleted quickly there is a trace on Google and so the spammers think it's worthwhile.
There's even more spam than people may see- if you ever look on Recently Answered Posts tab early in the morning you'll usually find several new spam replies tagged onto really old threads from up to 10 years ago

I have just recovered internet access after a virus attack on my PC yesterday, and I am highly suspicious of those dam websites that I was roaming around a couple of days ago. Sometimes knocked everything out on my machine, and it took about eighteen hours of hard work by my wonderful son in law to put it right. So please be warned.
