WHY WAS THERE A DIVORCE DESIRED BY THE COW FOR THE ANSWER key

We usually get rid of a couple hundred spam posts daily, but occasionally the topic title is so weird that I let it slide (after removing the post itself). Being home sick today, this counts as another one. What drives those Russian spam bots to come up with such strange titles? Tom Allen

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Is this the super sekrit Tom Allen account that has finally been exposed? Or is it a smart move to lure us into clicking the (quite suspicious) link at the bottom of the post? After all, this isn't your typical "Tom Allen" profile. Do I smell something fishy?!

Nope, just me here. But skip the link - honestly, I haven't got a clue what it points to. Like I mentioned before – sometimes the spam titles are so absurd that I simply delete the message and share them for fun. "The Original"

Zombie post has risen! While waiting to see some chastity posts, I grew impatient and scrolled through the archives. Guess what? I found an off-topic thread that actually deserves a comment. Picture yourself as a spammer. You need to sell goods and send out ten million emails shouting "BUY SUPERWIDGET X NOW!". This strategy worked well in the past. The issue is, people despise spam, especially system admins. So, software was quickly developed to detect numerous duplicate messages sent within an administrative domain and automatically silence them. That proved quite effective at first. Naturally, spammers weren't too happy about that. They responded by introducing minor changes into their spam emails. However, the anti-spam tools then started examining these differences closely; if they were minimal, those messages got silenced as well. So, spammers shifted tactics. The key to handling spam blocks is stopping the junk without cutting off real communication. It’s incredibly difficult for a machine to truly grasp whether message text carries actual meaning. Computers just don't know if a sequence of letters makes sense to humans. Thus enters Markov chaining, a secret weapon for spammers. This computerized technique produces sentences that *kindly* resemble human language. The process involves computers sampling vast amounts of online content (hello Google!). They then run statistical analyses on word pairs. For example, they might discover that after "I", the next word is frequently "am". They gather probabilities—given "I", what follows? Maybe "am", or maybe "was", "went", "had"—and compile this into a massive table. From there, they can create lots of language that looks human but lacks deep sense. Starting with "I", for the second word, it rolls dice based on the table to pick something like "am". Then, using "am", it rolls again to select what typically follows... and so forth. This creates emails that look English-like yet nonsensical, containing within them the link spammers want you to click (to buy your product or worse, compromise you). Generate one of these fresh every 100 messages or so, and automated spam filters can't distinguish between real and fake! That's the gist.
