@Cow I feel like there would be more FPs than that. There are probably more posts that would have this URL but have been deleted. A few I found were questions on SO that barely survived the Roomba. Presumably, there were quite a few more throughout the years that had a .gov.bd domains in them but were just roomba'd. Also, the TPs we come from very few of the subdomains.

We can probably whitelist some of the subdomains (or, well, ignore them from the watch). Or maybe just blacklist some of them. I'll look into it a bit more, since I'm short on time now and amend the watch.

And this one stackoverflow.com/a/79190136. He got quite enthusiastic at the end
@DavidW Yep. And lost their 600 rep for it.
Maybe they'd think over whether they've seen other posts like theirs on SO. And when they figure the answer is "no", they might contemplate why they haven't seen them: whether they were the first person in over a dozen years to figure out they can just promoted themselves on SO. Or whether it's because others have also tried it but, shall we say, were unsuccessful.
