What is it about this group that brings in 5% linkbait contentless spam?

The term “3D Printing” is hot these days. I’m sure the spam-bots have it in their list of terms to look for.

Pity we can’t have some of the protections more conventional forums have…

We handle it pretty quickly most of the time I like to think.

@ThantiK Agreed. I will often see that the community has a new post or two, but there are none when I bring it up. I assume the posts were spam that was quickly removed.
Thanks!

Oh, you certainly do, and it’s no reflection on the staff! It’s just surprising it happens with such regularity.

I’m in many communities, and from my experience, 5% is a pretty low average for SPAM.

To the mods - one solution I’ve seen is to make the default subforum called SPAM. This way, it captures most and at least makes it easy to identify.
