Influx of new related scammer accounts?

[Kiba]

Over the last few weeks I've been noticing quite a few new accounts with similar naming patterns being created. Some of them have already been reported as scammers and banned, but there appear to be a ton of others. I'm pretty sure they're not deersniper/BurtG's future alt accounts for the next time he gets banned, lol

They're using odd yet similar word combinations and patterns for names, and if you look at members online and their recent activity they're all cruising the PX. Almost all the accounts have zero posts but every now and then one will react to a post or reply to a thread, and while their posts may look ok at a glance the relevance to the thread and the grammar is usually a bit off.

Here's a few that I've found just in the last 5 minutes, and I'm sure there are lots more. Just last week about 5 accounts with 3 word names beginning with "brass" were banned after one of the accounts scammed at least one member.

Or am I totally wrong and many of these are legitimate members with names that are being automatically suggested by the forum software in the event someone can't think of a user name?

Also, I just want to say that "thrilling fuchsia monkey" sounds like a sex move on Urban Dictionary, lol

Are from AI powered "random" name generator sites. There are a few newer accounts that do seem to be legit using these as handles, but the sudden influx of them screamed "scammer" to me as well. If the forum software itself is suggesting these it is news to me.

They are even posting that they have positive feedback
