    I love how the spammers have little threads that no one cares about except themselves.

          At least you didn't need AI to post that comment.

            I reported that person for a second time today. That makes three times since yesterday.

              They are just wasting their time and our time.

    The truth is that spammars at times bypass hubpages spam detectors?

    I can't imagine how much it costs HubPages to deal with all the spammers. I assume the cost is ultimately borne by the writers in the form of lower earnings.

    Of course, I don't know what I'm talking about when it comes to matters digital but perhaps a start could be made by setting filters to block anything originating in India that contains the word "best."

    Is India the only country in the world useing the word 'best' to describe a product or service?                                      Some Indian content writers, or marketing Executives are working or residing in the USA or UK.                                       I recalled herd a fellow Nigerian, who claim to be a professor. But he was spammering the forum, and plagiarizing comtemts. The guy was detected and banned.                                      Seriously, ravi raji, one of our best writers here is from India. Certain spammers are from Pakistan.
