APK Spam vs New Users

It’s either not working, not working correctly or not working yet; that’s a span/m of just 10 minutes:

Note what happens in a lot (but not all) of cases:

  • since a lot of public forums have preventive measures in place, spammers believe they need to legitimise themselves first; they do it by copy / pasting existing genuine posts and having other accounts like :heart: them first
  • only then the post gets edited and a link inserted

Can the watched list be made to look at edits themselves as well, and pluck suspicious entries?


Please do consider not allowing new users (whatever defines one) post links outside of whitelisted domains. If at all feasible, ofc.
