An issue popped up this year where the forum has been spammed from known user accounts. Most of the accounts were accounts that hadn't been used for a while, but I couldn't figure out how someone's account could have been hacked. I did a search and found that this is an internet wide problem:

"Spambots are using existing leaked password lists from users that use the same password on every site."

"It is due to a data leak and reused passwords. You just have to manually clean the spam posts and send a password reset."


When we see spam being sent by an account that we know to be a good account, we delete the spam and send a password reset to the user. This hasn't happened very often, but if you use the same password across the internet, you might want to change it.

So does this mean i can post something in chinese about ED, male enhancement, or getting rich fast, and blame it on a bot?

Now that you mention it....

NO

Usually the spam posts are out of character for the poster... we probably wouldn't notice for you.
 
Best way to eat spam is cold & out of the can on top of a mountain you realized was too much work to hike and now you gotta walk all the way back down the damn thing with wobbly legs.

Hikings dumb. Spams good though.

My favorite way to eat Spam is in the typical midwestern way, in pasta salad:

1 box Anelli pasta (tiny little rings)
1 can Spam, cut into 1/4" cubes
1/2 bag of frozen peas
1 cup miracle whip or mayo
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Make pasta, stir it all together, done.

It is so frickin good... my wife's aunt in ND makes it that way and it's always better than when I make it. I don't know what her secret is. Main thing is the pasta, it tastes better because of the shape.
 
Guess I'll change my password. Trying to remember my old one...

1...2...3...4...5

That reminds me, I need to change the lock combination on my luggage....

Well, now we know who's responsible for those.

Spam AND Mayo? Seems like an awful lot of flavor for the timid midwestern palate 😋 hehe
