4 or 5, one at a time between 6:30 and 8:00

I had 2 around 6am ET. One was posted to KT & African Violets, which made me chuckle.

1 at 9:20 Eastern kind of later in the morning, I thought.

5:20 and again now at 8:45 central

5 just before 6:00 EST

1 in French (!) on KT at 6:13am ET.

4 more

I finally caught one. You guys are fast!

I got 2 of them this morning. I am not sure that one of a list links of about 10 of them was a scam or not though

Good job, you guys! I have to admit to chuckling as I listened (read) as you posted how many you caught and at what time. As I mentioned upthread, the west coast people thank-you. You're catching them while I'm still sleeping. :)

I am not sure that one of a list links of about 10 of them was a scam or not though

Spam, not scam. And either one, of course it's spam and each link is a bad thing. Why would you think otherwise?

I have not noted if the spam shows up on particular forums or if it is just random.

I have noticed that they've been adding forums. And they seem pretty doggone random.

I've caught a few the last few evenings (I'm on Pacific time). I stay up late and am seeing them before most of you are up in the east. Yes, one in another language last night- can't recall if it was French.

sushi I meant spam when I typed that and it is the first one I saw with multiple links so I though it was maybe legit. It was worded different too.

When they cross post, isn't it usually, or maybe always, to a forum near the top of the list of forums?
I haven't been up much lately to notice though so maybe I'm remembering wrong but he ones I'm remembering are ones starting with an "A".

Always to "The Kitchen Table" (they know it gets a lot of traffic?) and sometimes cross posted to African Violets, Alliums, Annuals, or another forum near the top of the list. (easily checked without having to scroll)

Kind of like they do it as an afterthought.

Which is partly why I was thinking it is a living person as opposed to a BOT.

Nothing like that will ever be legit on forums like this.

Do you all find this annoying? When you report something as spam and then confirm that you meant it, Houzz doesn't bring you back to Kitchen Table. It seems to take me to a list of all the most current postings on all the forums I have listed on the left side of my screen. It takes a few clicks to get back to KT.

I agree, one more yuck about the format, graywings.

There were 2 around 6am ET this morning on KT posted by "Taylors Wift". At least there is a sense of humor in there somewhere.

3 around 3 am this morning from Taylor too

Now that I think about it, graywings, before the format change, deleting a whole thread would leave you on a "what's new" page with all recent posts in all the home forums. It's about the same thing now, I think. I'm sick of the jerking screen when you move back and forth in forums.

If you 'follow' the KT, it puts it on that list on the left. One click and I'm back in the KT. Still annoying, though.

I got 4 of them at 3 this morning

I got 5 today.

I think I got around 3 today at 5 or 6 am.

I thought they were maybe gone but yesterday afternoon I got another one.

I found one just a little while ago. I used to only see them in the early morning but now the spammers seem to be expanding their posting time frame.

They're not gone. Unfortunately. Just, perhaps, slowing down...or back from vacation. I've gotten one or two for the last couple of days at weird hours of the night and early morning.

I saw two yesterday, one was quite late, probably after 8 PM EDT. Do you think they are lightening up? Or do we just catch them so fast that most people don't see them?

I got two a few minutes ago. There was another one but someone else got it before I did.

Just got one a moment ago.

Two so far today.

I also thought they had given up...I caught just 2 early in the morning on Monday & Tuesday this week. Just found one around 5pm ET. Looks like they are switching it up a bit.

I just did one from HU-53777014. Since most are gone by the time I am on here is there a particular person that posts or do they change all of the time.

I think that they change all the time. With the ease to set up new accounts, and the fact that Houzz wants to amass as many unique "members" as possible, that's what happens.

I agree with you sushi

I agree as well. They appear to be attracted to KT especially with the addition sometimes of another forum towards the top of the list. I saw KT & Amaryllis on one and KT & African Violets on another this week.

Two this morning on KT. One at 6am and one at 9:30am (ET).

I've had 4, starting at 5 am.

Two starting a little after 6:00. One also posted to Alpines and Rock Gardens.

Six between 5:00AM and 6:00AM. Just when it looked like they were gone.

I was just starting to wonder if the Powers That Be had come up with a filter for them, but looks like they are still there. Good work, folks!

One at 7:10am ET. Apparently even spammers take vacations. Sigh.

I got up early this morning. One at 4:15am, one at 5, and two around 6 - all ET.

They are still going strong!! Got one this morning that had 12 links to movies in it and several more single ones.

I've had three this morning, one cross posted to Alliums.

I guess it's starting up again............ I got one so far today. coming back to update. let's make that 2 so far.... I guess they are up and at it.

Add one for me. First one in days.

I was up early again and found two. I've had one or two each morning this week. Two were those long multiple listings and all have been posted to KT.

Lest anyone thinks the spammers have retreated, I've "caught" at least 5 early in the morning for the past few days. It has been unusually hot for Maine and by getting up at 4am, I actually can get some fresh air.
