Hi,

For a couple months now, Bugzilla spammers have changed tactics and are now leaving (possibly AI-generated?) comments without any obvious spam links, e.g.:

https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=192753#c31

The spam comment will look somewhat related to the content of the bug report, but won't actually contribute to the discussion. The purpose of these spam comments is unclear since without links there can be no SEO spam. Maybe they think it helps them build reputation to avoid us removing their future comments that will actually include links? Whatever. This is a heads-up to be on the lookout for the new strange type of spam.

What's the correct procedure to report spam? I had been mailing <ad...@webkit.org> each time I see it, but there is also a spam tag we can add to posts to hide them. Is the spam tag adequate, or is that not good enough to actually ban the spammer?

Michael
