Here comes another one of my confirmation bias. Some words with structure-like characteristics tend to share the same ending in -ment, such as tenement, apartment, department, and basement. It follows the same logic for some words with a sense of binding, uniting, or gathering: nation, station, constellation, congregation, etc.
Is my radar receiving the wrong signal? Would it work to swap the ending for these words in the first place?

I have this lingering feeling that we are getting inured to the constant bombardment from the rampant and senseless bot ads. I want to examine this issue and consider whether any meaningful solutions exist, even if the power to implement them lies beyond language learners on this platform.
1 The account is deleted, but not the post.
Even after an account is deleted, its posts remain visible. It might be better if such posts are auto-removed once they receive a certain number of reports from valid users—or perhaps users with a minimum threshold of likes. Another approach could be empowering a group of trusted users to act as volunteer moderators to help keep the forum clean.
2 Spam as a deterrent to engagement
Spam is being used strategically to discourage genuine user participation. Unless these spamming bots are somehow tied to a sponsorship or affiliate arrangement with the site, it's in the forum's best interest to implement stronger anti-spam measures, starting with a more rigorous registering process for a user account.
What are some motives behind spamming the site? What do you recommend to solve the problem?
Some other questions are listed below based on my random thoughts.
1 Is this a psychological experiment to test the conditioning effects of these random ads on the users?
2 I have also noticed other subtle solicitations meant to spur users toward using their service - a great example of classic supply and demand at work. Would this be a good economic indicator?
3 What rights does AI have? With that being said, I could be another Picard's friend - Data from the future.
I will include a link to this post in my future posting to keep it from getting buried under the usual nonsense from bots.
