Some subjects are spam or test submissions. OpenRecords is a public web form, so — like any open submission system — it draws search engine optimization (SEO) and tech-support-scam spam (fake QuickBooks, crypto or airline “support” listings posted to get indexed by search engines) plus placeholder or test entries. Every subject is shown exactly as filed; obvious spam is flagged.i
