What are all the random "ugg" posts?

They are spambots. If you see them, report them immediately

They will spam everywhere. Way of life. You can start some pretty interesting discussions on them between the time you report them and they're deleted.
Posting on spambots' posts are pointless and only bump the topic so other people can see them, which is something we don't want. If you post on them just to get your post count up, that is considered spamming and you might risk a ban.

How do I report them? Is it like a screenshot in the report abuse section?

Aren't the posts deducted from your post count when the thread was deleted? I always thought that, which was the only reason why I did it. And to have a good conversation with Stijn XD

Do see the point of not bringing them to the surface though.

You just click the report button at the bottom of the post, and a mod will deal with it.

Oh apparently you are correct about the post count thing. But the bumping is also an issue.

Agreed. I only posted on them a few times, when the names were especially innovative and interesting.
