What's with all the "forum spam"

Lately I've noticed that anywhere the word "pa per" (space intentionally added) appears, it is seemingly replaced with "forum spam", whether it be in a thread title or topic reply.

Searching for "pa per" still finds the results, but it's all been replaced with "forum spam"

It's a way of discouraging people who hand been offering to write academic documents for money from spamming the forum.

Thanks for the info.

I"ll try to think of a workaround, as several of my posts include the word paper and replacing that with "forum spam" can be confusing.... Like this here sentence here
