We're getting into it, thanks It'll probably be there for a wee while longer as we work through it, but hopefully whatever let them in lego can nuke and we'll be good.

Yeah, you need to call in extermitus. When I looked in morning they where getting about.

Hmmm, I suspect, when translated, that reads "Great Deal on Kitchen Cabinets!"

It's all Korean stuff.

Yeah, that's Hangul / Korean writing
And Cathay is Fantasy China, not Japan.

The title is somewhat offensive.

But yeh, Kim Jong Un was trying to sell us some kitchen cabnets.

For blanket spammers who post multiple times, should we just triangle of friendship one post, or all of them? I’d rather not spam the MODs with spammer spam.

Yeah, I am wondering that as well. Altough I suspect the Mods will be spammed either way as multiple people will undoubtedly press the happy, cheerful yellow triangle button.

Apparently we've got one of those spammers going right now as I post this. I've reported a few of his posts, and others have replied to them saying for the mods to please get rid of them. I thought the mods didn't want us posting in those threads.

Also, they seem to be coming from the US, if the flag is any indication, although the text looks like Korean. Google translate has it looking like something gambling related, but mostly still random gobbledygook.

Maybe they're using software that hides their IP and location?
Wouldn't that make it harder to block them?

Light up any spam posts you see - it is helpful and gets them stopped quicker that way, and it makes it a bit easier/faster to delete the offending posts as well.

And, as always, thanks!

Get them fingers warmed up! Its about time for those spammers to be hitting the forums soon
