I’ve been noticing massive amounts of spam across the boards lately , too many to copy and show here . noticing most of it in the late night or early morning hours and a lot of it being for illegal and illicit activities . The mods seem to be on top of it ,but I’ve never seen so much of it . banned member using sock accounts ? If so , they are pretty stupid. I’m guessing it’s just a matter of time before they get tracked somehow and hopefully receive harsh consequences for illegal activities .

There should be a way to auto-detect these spam bots and auto-delete them. These are becoming way over the top. I understand this may be easy for me to say though.

I am concerned that an unsuspecting user may accidentally click on one of the spam links and thus install malware onto their device.

I’ve reported both, but the mods haven’t seemed to have taken notice.

Gods for some, miniature libertarian socialist flags for others.
