Hmm wonders if the poster is a bot or spammer. (my vote is spammer) Why you say? The way the initial comment is phrased: instant warning as spammers use those EXACT words.

[ellynn_ithilwen]

Spammer.

Spam/scam/written using AI - all three true I believe, and they may well be using a bot to post comments. I checked the few stories I keep at FFnet, but they're clean so far; I'll also report if any such comments turn up.

I think they are real persons, who use the opportunity for self-promotion. Wrong kind of self-promotion, in a wrong place.

I have heard about this happening to others, not only on FFnet, sadly.

[ellynn_ithilwen]

Other fanfiction sites too? I didn't know.

Somebody will jump on it, I'm sure. But I agree with you - total SPAM!

Exactly. I'm angry, and curious about the outcome. I'll post again if there will be news about it.

[curiouswombat]

Grrr.... I have my angry face on!

[ellynn_ithilwen]

me too!
