It looks like one guy is trying the same scam with two different accounts.

Here and here.

Kind of like the problem that Deviantart is currently having. But on a much smaller scale.

This, this and this.

It almost makes me glad that DROD is such a cult game. The forum is quiet enough that people have time to check for spam like this.

I'm not sure if there was a spam reply and it got deleted, but the initial post I made wasn't intended to be spam, because I emphasized it's all just something the person who wants to collaborate with me can do for fun/free.

Yeah, I seriously had doubts when I recognized the poster as a veteran. Spammers always get their start early.

That said, the post could have been worded less suspiciously.

You said:
A post was made on the drod forum by someone who said this: Can anyone share their experiences on how to get in touch with the right fictional ghostwriting services? I'm looking to advance my project.

Do you think this is a spammer?


ChatGPT said:
It does sound like it could be spam. Phrases like "right fictional ghostwriting services" and a general lack of specificity are common in spam posts, especially when they are vague and ask for help with a service that may not be directly relevant to the community. Spammers often use such posts to introduce links or promotions later. Additionally, if the post doesn't match the usual topics discussed on the DROD forum, it increases the likelihood of it being spam.

However, if you're unsure, you might want to check the user's profile, see if they have a history of genuine contributions, or if this is their only post. Moderators typically handle such cases by removing the post or the user if it is indeed spam.
