The mods will have there work cut out for them today, 80 to 85 or so drug related threads that all appear to be from the one account. Didn't bother going into any of them but definitely a clean up required. Hope this is not something that will happen regularly due to AI.

yep they will have their work cut out for them... Really hope they don't have to go through and delete every single one of those posts individually. Like you I didn't open any off the titles said it all...

nothing to worry about. The user account that created all that spam was created only yesterday, so no hacking needed. They simply signed up.

I think they can automatically delete all posts by a single user.

All the new posts are drug related.

Just another one of these communicable diseases that plague the world wide web, and everyone and everything.
Seems like any organism or system is subject to being infected by these parasites. A dog is subject to getting fleas and so is a forum subject to getting “pests”.

Yeah what a mess... I have not figured out a way to mass delete them, and the other mods are likely still asleep.

It's been happening a lot lately and has been keeping us all busy. Thank you
@bower for the great cleanup. We all sure do appreciate you cleaning up all of the contamination around here.

For a second there I thought I might have drunk posted something off putting during one of my low blood sugar episodes when I get a little punchy, which seem to occur once or twice a week. But I wouldn't have posted anything drug related so I'm in the clear.
