toxicTom: Bot switched to a new user: lkjsgehwo
Well at least now you know how we've felt for last week... :-/
Ciris: I'd noticed SOME spam before, but I must've not encountered the forums that were as flooded by it - I'm in contact with support and the web team to figure something out, though. Hopefully, there'll be something we can do soon!
It started on January 27th, according to
this post. The next
678 posts detail the battle we've been through since then. I do recommend that you go through it all when you can find the time. It should be educational. Not least to showcase how many people have warned you of the problem, including how bad it actually was, and how thoroughly you've ignored them until now.
Still, it's good that you've finally woken up, but damn, try listening to your users once in a while, eh? And keep a better eye on your own forum in the future.
