Question, does the Memory and Storage forum get more of those medical supplement spam than other forums? I feel like I see them in there more often. If so, it might be related to 'Memory' in the forum title (vaguely referencing human memory) and thus falling prey to bots. It's possible that could be countered by changing 'Memory' to 'Mem' or 'RAM' or something. Just a thought!

If it's totally random (or if the possible 'wordsmithing' becomes too onerous between forums) then disregard!

It gets more than its share, but so does General Hardware and Off Topic - at least looking at the ones from the last few days.

Not really.

All these forums get spam it seems nowadays.
