Is it just me?

Often, after I make a post into a forum, the subsequent post is that of a bot, selling Nike Air Jordans (or some such nonsense). Is it me? Are these bots just waiting for me to make my move? Are they somehow riding on my coat tales to get in? How are these bots even getting an account on the forums? :sweat:
 
I don't believe they are actually bots, but real people selling counterfeit goods from China. If you check out the sites you'll see that they are all basically identical apart from the colour scheme.
 
They must just really really like you. 😉
Is there anywhere in particular here on our forums you see this happening? I know Tom's Guide article commentary has been a spam magnet for some time, and we've taken steps to reduce it, but it is a never-ending war with evil spammers I'm afraid.
