Spam warning for everyone!

At least we know the staff get to rest over the weekend.

Besides, I understand that ignoring the messages, especially scams, might solve the issue in the short term, but in the long term, when new newcomers arrive here to chat with us here, when they see so many malicous scam comments like these, they will eventually either leave the community platform immediatly, or stay here with the negative reputation of unsecure NI forums.

Just like another site has those badly moderated settings, or as Moon (youtube channel) would say: criminally unsecure platform. (Twitch).

Trust me whe I say this, but in some ways, even some major platofrms like Youtube have that same problem.

They delibaratly censor many content creators for no reason or do almost nothing to prevent typical issues, or at least tone them down, yet they are perfectly fine with promoting scams, NFT, crypto...

Hell, they are even ok with promoting borderline adult ads and content farms, as well as promoting adult games to young teenagers, sometimes even kids.

What can I say, we are currently experiencing the Age of Rust when it comes to the Internet.

Way more than two accounts. They posted literally thousands of messages. It starts at page 2 of recent messages and continues until page 52. Happy message deleting.

@Uwe303 Please ban that one as well:

I received the following PM from that user on Friday:

It would be cool if we could report such spammers directly via their profiles.

Unfortunately, there is more...

This is the Korean Flu of scams.

That's what I was saying. They posted over 1000 messages last night. They posted 10-20 messages an hour from 10pm EST until at least 5am EST. It covers about 50 pages of latest updates.

Looks like somebot trying to build up enough post count to post urls

Thx again it really helps so I can just ban them quickly, there must definitely something be done about this. Maybe block this character set or ppl using it or whatever.

I think we will discuss this tomorrow and then something like that will be applied
