What's with the sudden waves of spam?

The poop question today wasn’t spam, it was just some trollish type trying to stir the shit, so to speak, haha.
Spam comes and goes, most of us flag it when we come across it depending on the time frame it’s posted. Probably they are just looking/searching for any Q&A type sites/forums that they can post their solicitations to. I take it in stride, into every site a little spam must fall.

Given what I see at a site I help out at, I think Fluther gets off lightly. We sometimes see a couple of hundred pieces of spam a night at the other site.

Mods may have been less active this week and so you’re seeing spam they normally clean up quickly.

It’s about the same as usual. We normally get a surge towards the end of the week (spammers getting their quotas in?) but nothing out of the ordinary this week.

Confirmation bias, methinks!

More spams means more popularity. Looks like Fluther is gaining some weight ( tiny may be) if we go by your words.

Hope the upcoming maintenance will do something about it.
