    No, It's Spam Bots.
    At the bottom of every post, next to the time stamp, is a report button. Report those posts as spam. The mods will remove them.
    Thanks.

    The posters all have long and odd names. They attacked us last night also.
    Look on World Silver Crown Size Type collectors coins and on Quarter Notes giveaway.

    One of them just commented a list of... adult... sites on this post. They must be stupid if they think anyone's going to click on them

    Excuse my ignorance here but are they all being physically posted or is it a glitch?

    Likely spam-bots doing it after humans creating accounts.

    Spamming the thread on spam! There was a big software services hack overnight on the news, I wonder if some how this is related.

    the next we will be fought differently!

    There are a few theories about what this type of spam is about...
    Likely to create some google search corruption as well as figure out ways to post harmful links...likely out of China or Russia, but there is a literal online war happening in regards to all types of security...
    So...don't click spam links.
    A bit of discussion about these kind of forum spams...

    Have seen some appearing on other forum/feedback sites just in the last couple weeks...all about working from home and earning huge incomes. They show/post right in the middle of totally unrelated threads/comments.

    It's not just here but the entire internet is close to a critical cyber attack which could hold the entire planet as hostage.
