There appears to be something different about these current M15 posts.
First, the number of messages is much greater. In the past few weeks,
M15 posts have been on the weekends on 10 groups I read and are made
at about the same time. So far the current batch of M15 posts have
appeared only on this group of the 10 groups I read. Usually I just
scroll past the M15 posts. However, this time there are so many M15
posts that this becomes a bother. Any spammer could copy the posts and
repost them somewhere. I suspect that M15 posts have been made by many
different spammers in the past. Thus getting a spammer blocked is
likely just a temporary fix.
