Signature Spamdexing on Forums

[NNlk05]

There's an influx of new users with usernames of the format FirstnameInitalLastname that creates a (half)legit-sounding thread in the Sandbox,
then a few day after change their signature to be an ad:

Title: What's Your Favorite OCA?
Hello

I'm looking to discover more OCAs and would love some recommendations.

Can you name one OCA that you enjoy and briefly say why you like it?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

Title: Creating a Seamless Penrose Pattern
Hi everyone,

I'm working on a Penrose kite and dart pattern and would like to make it seamless for use as a texture. Does anyone know a good method or software for creating clean, high-resolution seamless images?

Any tips or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Title: How Do You Come Up with Good City Names? (Later merged into Thread for your miscellaneous posts and discussions)
Hello
I'm creating a fictional world and I'm having trouble naming one of my main cities. I want the name to feel unique and match the city's atmosphere, but every idea I've tried sounds either too generic or doesn't fit the setting.

How do you usually come up with memorable city names? Do you base them on real languages, historical influences, or just combine words until something feels right?

I'd love to hear your naming tips or creative process. Thanks!

Even if I said:

I noticed that a spammer (possibly DeepSeek) has created a copycat of this thread.

I don’t think they is a LLM/s(p|c)amer.

This post was originally in its own thread in the Sandbox. I banned the user because it's pretty clear it's https://conwaylife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=7329. --hotdogPi
Title: Does Still Life Work Together?
Hi everyone,

I've been experimenting with Still Life and was wondering how well it works alongside Structure, Mob, Crop, and other gameplay features.

Has anyone tested these combinations in different situations? Do they work smoothly together, or are there any conflicts or unexpected behaviors?

I'd love to hear your experiences and any tips you might have before I spend more time experimenting.

Thank you so much!

Its clear now this is not the case, we're getting attacked by a LLM-based spambots that are very convincing up until the point they post the spam link. I am fooled my then in all three times.
What should we do?

Why is "Spam signature removed" black?

I wouldn't be fooled if it said "I've been experimenting with Still Life and was wondering how well it works alongside Structure, Mob, Crop, and other gameplay features."
This isn't Minecraft

I think the LLM saw the Minecraft thread first.

I’m not entirely sure, but I think that this user might also be one, with an equally suspicious signature:
