No idea what a "cracked software spam post" would look or be like but I don't think I've ever seen one.
I've seen one today and one yesterday. It's basically a post saying "Here's this great software that does this and this. Download a cracked version here for free!"
Each post is about a cracked version of a usually popular piece of commercial software. There's been loads of them.
Haven't seen a single one
I often sort by new and saw a lot. If you’re sorting by active it might’ve been removed by the time you got to it.
Ah ok. Yeah I usually sort by Top 6hr
It’s likely malware inside that cracked software too, as it’s being promoted by the poster
