I didn’t configure the AI spam detector correctly. Seems to be working now.

There’s more getting through the filters. Some spammer is specifically targeting Discourse sites.

Besides one large spam dump a few days ago I haven’t noticed any spam casually checking throughout the day. I keep view set to Latest and browse on Safari on iOS and macOS

Since I configured the AI spam filter correctly yesterday, almost all the spam messages are going to the review queue. There are now 210 of them.

is there anything we can do to help

Track down the spammer and steal all his computers.

Oh, is there a thought that it’s just a single spammer?

It’s all quite similar and repetitive.
