Spam Accounts

In the space of a week, starting at the end of December, there have been almost 450 new registrations on this site. A couple seem genuine, however most have user names consisting of random letters. Those with a website link will direct you to a dodgy site. Today's birthday notification is a case in point.
Get ready for a spam tsunami.

I have noticed they have some AI where they attempt to copy some of the conversation to make it seem like they have something relevant to say. The botters probable gobble up large numbers of registration names in case one gets banned they can move on the next one. You see that in online games where they just wear down mods over time.
