VLAZ(╯‵□′)╯︵ header 1 header 2 cell 1 cell 2 cell 3 cell 4 I have previously noted this as a reponse but here it is a separate question. Since the Stacks Editor was released to all new answerers we have seen a surge of answers that are just a markdown table. Like what you see in the begin...

not of the users
Tue 17:49
yeah and that happening that often is an issue of the site
Tue 17:47
Well there are also other restrictions taken towards account/IP I think?
Tue 17:46
doesn't deserve a spam penalty
Tue 17:46
probably the fault of the Stacks Editor or whatever that is
Tue 17:31
I haven't flagged it though - might mod flag it?
Tue 17:31
they are asking the question answered by their paper
Tue 17:29
xd
Tue 17:25
95% this is spam promoting the same paper as metasmoke.erwaysoftware.com/post/590803 - but no link (yet)
Tue 17:16

Tue 16:58

Tue 16:58

@SmokeDetector spam (see comment) disguised as as an article (not a valid question) about SEO
Jul 20 09:52
@SmokeDetector link in answer matches username
Jul 20 09:52
@SmokeDetector could maybe be spam but it's at least NAA - someone just posted the LaTeX souce of some weird article - the detection (Bad keyword) doesn't seem to be related to it being spam
Jul 19 09:53
@SmokeDetector or just look at recent posts of that LinkedIn profile at all and you can't overlook the affiliation
Jul 19 09:51
@SmokeDetector tpu linkedin.com/posts/…

@VLAZ I don't understand what goes on in the mind of the people posting these to SO
Jul 17 19:06
I see
Jul 17 18:59
unsurprisingly

I'm not sure whether stackoverflow.com/staging-ground/79705299 is spam or just a blatantly off-topic non-question
Jun 21 14:12
@SmokeDetector A mod responded mentioning the link so ig there's no reason to flag it
Jun 14 19:32
@SmokeDetector that site is very new (~2 weeks) so it's likely undisclosed affiliation but I'm not sufficiently confident
Jun 14 15:05
ah ofc

@GeneralGrievance the poster of the answer has that site in their profile so that one's certainly spam

the posts linking to monobot.ai are a bit suspicious
