You may need to add some variations to the list.

- It looks legit, because they "pair" up, a seemingly innocent question followed in few minutes by the spam answer. All from newly registered accounts, which all only care about Q..B and apparently are smart enough to even know about the blocked word. On the positive, it looks like they haven't managed to update the answer itself to bypass the filter just yet :D<br><br>Here are two more: <a href="https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/outlook/quick-b00ks-crash-when-opening-company-file/m-p/4186955" target="_blank">https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/outlook/quick-b00ks-crash-when-opening-company-file/m-p/4186955</a><br><a href="https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sharepoint/quick-b00ks-error-r6025-how-to-resolve/m-p/4186797" target="_blank">https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sharepoint/quick-b00ks-error-r6025-how-to-resolve/m-p/4186797</a><br><br>In any case, such efforts are usually futile, you cannot keep up with all the variations. I'd still urge you to consider implementing some restrictions for newly registered users instead.
Allen , IMHO, that was not a spam, that is the question why Excel and Q..B don't work work together in some situation. Yes, question is more for Q..B, but for Excel people who work with Q..B as well.
