What say you ? Re: Possible spammer(s) in forums Richard Deeming4-Apr-23 22:51 Richard Deeming 4-Apr-23 22:51  JavaScript is a definite spammer: Spammer (ChristineWallace)[^] The Python one looks like another version of the same bot, but it doesn't have enough rep to display the bio or link yet.

Re: Smells like ChatGPT (Member 15970846) Richard MacCutchan4-Apr-23 22:48 Richard MacCutchan 4-Apr-23 22:48  Agreed. Should we flag such users as spammers or trolls? Re: Smells like ChatGPT (Member 15970846) OriginalGriff4-Apr-23 22:49 OriginalGriff 4-Apr-23 22:49  Troll to my mind - it's plagiarism as it's not their original content.

Re: Smells like ChatGPT (Member 15970846) Richard MacCutchan4-Apr-23 22:53 Richard MacCutchan 4-Apr-23 22:53  That was my thought also. Re: Smells like ChatGPT (Member 15970846) Greg Utas5-Apr-23 1:02 Greg Utas 5-Apr-23 1:02  There's also the question of how to flag their answers. Going with Abusive/Trolling for the account, the best option for the answer seems to be Repost.

Re: Smells like ChatGPT (Member 15970846) Richard MacCutchan5-Apr-23 2:13 Richard MacCutchan 5-Apr-23 2:13  The spam flag is fine (IMHO) as the answer gets deleted after the third one. Re: Smells like ChatGPT (Member 15970846) Greg Utas5-Apr-23 3:00 Greg Utas 5-Apr-23 3:00  I thought the site had software that "learned" to detect spam, so I was concerned about misleading it.

Re: Smells like ChatGPT (Member 15970846) Richard MacCutchan5-Apr-23 3:25 Richard MacCutchan 5-Apr-23 3:25  The problem with the posted answers is that they look reasonable, so there is nothing obvious to alert the filters.
