@ahmadawick they are really not advertising but just saying they are using it. I agree with deleting it but I am not convinced that it is Spam (lets monitor the user for a while to see what develops). One more reason why I do not like passord questions. They always invite dubious answers. I recognize that at times we need use dubious means to keep devices from turning into eWaste but that means we just have to be really vigilant with those answers.

Hi!
I've found account 6042300 that maybe should be banned.
Their device pages, 10 in total, are strange. They are almost as would-be advertisements (e.g. Electrolyte Analyzer, Ducted Dehumidifier Repair).
However, their technique-guides (20+) are very definite spam. Those guide consist mainly of fluff and urges the end-user to continue to presumably 6042300 own's website. And even if the links would be removed, well, the guides have nothing informational about them and are useless.
I'll leave the judgement to you @krisrodriguez
Cheers

@krisrodriguez This is a busy user! 80 + guides in one month. Generated by AI, ( I suppose) interesting medical/scientific devices and all with links pointing to the same site... That's a smart kind of advertising!? And everything translated by Translation Bot.

@vauweh I banned the user for now until Czarina can sort it all out. That way we get no more AI written guides for now.
