Spammers run rampant against the archive, trying their best to post advertisements and tricky links outward to sketchy sites. They've been doing it for years, and there's mitigations I and others work to keep it contained and miminal. Recently, someone is trying to break out of containment and is posting literally thousands of items a day.

Tens of thousands of items are being made, with rapidly fluctuating spellings and locations, which I've tracked down to VPN use as well as probably some level of hired hands. I have counterscripts running, but meanwhile, they are uploading hundreds of gigabytes a day and getting it disappearing soon after.
