Many sub-forums are getting a constant spam from some weird Korean website, all made by new users! Is there any way to delete these?

If enough people report the threads as spam they will disappear. There are already many GOGers working on that and keeping track of it:

Better watch what we're doing, a certain GOG member might be under the impression we're worshipping them!

Regardless how loyal you may be, it takes something like 10 flags for a thread to be removed by the current implementation; You also have to do each thread individually, and there's 16+ pages in The Wither 2 sub-thread. I applaud anyone who wants to help, however the real issue is we aren't given more powerful/simpler ways to handle them; But a machine is tireless, and we are not. Not to mention it's been noted well over 1500 bot names.


I've gotten feedback from GoG saying they are working on it, on a long term solution. I'd say let the general forums be cleared out so we can still chat in here, and if a sub-thread is being spammed just wait for GoG to fix it, as a single good SQL statement can handle easily what takes us hours and hours of work that we ultimately waste and are unpaid for. Relying on users to keep things running doesn't work on this scale.

But worry not, it will get fixed, it has to.

I don't understand how that is difficult to code, there must be a reason why they don't put any personnel to look at it.
