This isn't a new thing. I've been smashing the triangle on this type of posts for at least two years now, with SEO links hidden on punctuation marks or in white-on-white text.
There is another technique that they use to hide SEO links to avoid reply/quote detection, but I will not share it publicly to prevent it from being used any more than it is.
FWIW, I'm pretty sure that I had posted a "Turing test" in Nicky77's profile, and may even have reported a suspected spam message.....
