First of all, here's definition SEO spam for those who're not aware of such term.
While SEO spam usually removed on this forum in short interval, in past few months i notice higher frequency of SEO spam on some boards on this forum. In addition, i notice some technique which used to evade removal/report such as,
1. Using white color and small font size.
2. Use AI generated text to make it less spammy.

3. Create reply which contain generic response/AI generated text. But later it's edited add SEO spam link, which wouldn't be noticed by most member.
4. Make reply/thread which actually engage some discussion, but padded with non relevant link. An example was mentioned on How are the rules on "link dumps"? Should this be forbidden?.
Those technique has some success where some of those SEO spam post/thread manage to last few months to years before i accidentally notice and report those. So i'm here with following suggestion,
1. Improve bot/tool which detect spam (such as MindlessElectron) to include post which combine URL with small text size or unusual color.
2. Member should report post which contain non relevant link even when the text/content doesn't look spammy with reason "SEO spam".

SEO spam attack is a black hat SEO technique used by hackers to manipulate search engine results by filling your website with spam links and keywords. Search engines like Google typically reject spammy links to fake products, pharmaceutical ads, and adult, or gambling sites. But, they may mistakenly index the spam pages on your site due to their SEO value and authority.
