It is becoming ridiculous when trying to reference a User tag for use in a post. There are huge amount of duplicated tags, somebody needs to prune it. Maybe hire a programmer who can likely provide code to restrict entries if duplicated.

2023-10-17T16:49:58.21+00:00 A spam answer had been added to this thread by Abdullah Obaid S. Alrashidi, and someone had reported it. That answer post has been removed - I suppose by a moderator. However, the reference remains in the thread summary.
Yet another example where the thread summary has become disconnected from reality. A User sees that there is an answer to a post and opens the thread to read it - spends an indeterminate time looking for it and finally realises that this forum is garbage and never comes back. Sound familiar?
See for yourself, here is the current status in the thread summary before it becomes upadated by this comment:

The behaviour that you describe above is probably that which irritates me most. Many aspects of the site are sub-optimal and time-consuming workarounds are needed to achieve some goals, but at least some progress can be made. However this futile, time-wasting and eye-tiring search for entries that are not (yet?) present is maddening.
