Where are the mods?

Seriously, the first 3 pages of the forums are filled with spam posts! Only being able to report every 2 minutes in annoying, like waiting for Tom when he doesn't bring 9 shovels.

The mods either need to be more active or we need more of them. Because stuff like this going unchecked is bad!

Edit: the other game forums here have a couple spam posts, but we got hit bad.

Last I read (some months ago), Meo asked us to only report the first spam post from each spammer, not all their spammy posts. So, no need to report them all. :)

LOL @ the Tom joke. ;)

It's hard to keep track of wow been reported and who hasn't at this point, this is absolutely insane!

Who even takes the time to set up bots to spam a forum anyways?

It only has to be set up once, then every time they run it it will work. So, it doesn't take much time.

Still, with how co-ordinated the attacks seem to be, either one person has way too much time to make a ton of accounts, or a bunch of people have too much time to organize stuff like this.

Maybe you can open each spammer's profile in a separate tab and as you report them, close their tab?

How many were on? I must have missed the spamageddon. LOL. I think I caught one or two names only. They're certainly active tonight. LOL. ;)

Good idea! I'll be sure to remember that for the next attack lol

Oh goodness, at least 15 unique names, and that was from a quick glance. Mostly focused on our forums, the other games didn't get more than a handful of spam posts. 3 whole pages for us.

I sat in this sub forum for a full 20 minutes until half an hour ago, just deleting spam as it came up. Each time i went back to general after deleting some, a new thread would be there. Thats about one a minute per account.

So yes, it builds up fast. please report one of the posts, and tell us in the report there are a whole bunch.

Cheers
