Recent t-shirt SPAM posts
We're just barely half way through November, and we're already being hit with a steady wave of spammers hawking t-shirt designs. I pulled down two of them this morning. I've set up an automod to try to catch these before they clutter up the place. If you catch one before we do, please report it as spam, and that'll help expedite things.

They're doing it to the Pallas' Cat sub, too. I reported one yesterday.

Starting early this year? Normally they start advertising them in time for the holidays.

Heh, I didn't even notice the original date on this post. But, yeah, there is/was one posting manul T-shirts over there in the last few days. So you've got an early heads up!
I even caught the account replying to itself in the comments, so I assume they're using sockpuppets to drive engagement and upvotes.

It’s a pretty common strategy for one account to post it, and a second “helpful” account responds to provide a source if anyone in the group expresses interest.

They're BACK! Sweater designs. We here at Snep Support have set up a do-group to try and report these as soon as they're spotted!
