"Hey mods, just wanted to bring this up - I've noticed a bunch of weird accounts popping up lately with random user names and profiles. They're not engaging with the community at all, just spamming our membership count. Anyone else noticing this or have any ideas on how to take care of it?"

I've noticed this happening a lot lately, too. We should probably keep an eye out for new accounts that seem suspicious or have suspicious activity (e.g. posting tons of "get rich quick" threads). Maybe we can even get some AI-powered tools to help identify and flag potential spammers?

"Yeh, I've noticed it too, our member count's been blowing up overnight for the third time this month. Anyone try blocking new sign-ups for a bit to see if it makes a difference? Worth a shot, idk if it's worth reporting the IP to the devs tho."
