I see. We had a couple similar issues in the past, presumably from some kind of SaaS SEO tool that will automatically sign up new accounts for users of the tool. But we might also be dealing with "mechanical turk"(*) type of human work. These tools tend to get more sophisticated in flying under our collective radar, but usually not sophisticated enough to get the tagging quite right and avoid adding duplicate data. The addition of advertising copy in the changeset comment is something I've seen a lot (often duplicated or amended by a note or description tag). I wonder if downloading a changeset planet and feeding all changeset comments to some sort of Bayes filter could help identify more problems.
