    Ugh, spam

    Discussion in 'Support & Feedback' started by 8Bit Bob, Mar 6, 2018.

    So, I guess we're being spammed right now. I reported as many of the posts as I could, but they just keep coming.

    Not sure if there's really anything else to do at the moment :/

    It looks like there’s just two “members” involved. Until they get banned, putting them on Ignore makes the new posts list usable again.

    Wait, wait...Is it meat for Unicorns, or the meat of Unicorns? Because if it's the latter, I'm gonna have to call People for the Ethical Treatment of Unicorns and stage a super sparkley rainbow protest. I think that Lucky Charms leprechaun dude is a supporter and would be down for being the MC...Maybe I can have him give the media a soundbite or two... [Runs to get clipboard.]

    I wonder what benefit they obtain from posting this nonsense. It’s not like the posts even link to a specific site or provide actionable intelligence.

    How is doing that even fun? Like, if they want to annoy people, can't they just go outside and scream at the top of their lungs or something?
    Dude: "Haha I found this forum lets go spam it!"
    Dude 2: "Yessss we should make them read nonsense and copy and past the same thing like 5 billion times. Sooo much fun!"

    My guess is the person/people behind it have some mediocre "h4ck1ng sk1llz" and decided to try them out on our site :bigmeh:

    There were an additional 18-ish posts that were caught in the moderation queue. Most of those had some kind of link in them (didn't check if it was promoting anything or just random garbage link, though).
    But yeah, the posts looked mostly like useless spam...
