@ghostinhershell piggybacking on this issue, please consider doing something about spam in the support forum. I recently logged in for the first time in a while and on the default forum home page I was shown a large number of obvious spam links. Here is a screen shot, but you can view them by visiting

Please institute a basic spam filter. I reported one of these posts, but it's surprising to me that they exist at all given Github's access to machine learning engineers.

Thanks for this comment, @peterldowns & @SebastienXia ♥️ We work closely with internal teams on ML models that detect "bad actor" "spammy" and "off-topic" patterns in both discussions and comments. They help us to triage these at scale, but bots and gonna bot ... Patterns change and a lot of this requires a human to review.

Trust us when we say we are frustrated by it just as much as you (and so many of our users). We've added more folks to the team to help manage off topic & spam posts across all categories. This is reactive and doesn't prevent the problem, but we are actively working to solve this at scale.

The last note I want to share is that we have seen the bulk of these posts in this accessibility category. Our best guess is that it is because it comes first alphabetically. We appreciate you calling this out.

Thank you for your quality contributions! Its really why we all do what we do. We want to curate a safe space where users can help users, find inspiration, and provide insight and product feedback to our teams.

We remain vigilant. Thank you! ✨
