When it comes to pointing out the obvious, I'm your rabbit.. wolf..... wolf-rabbit.

it does that. especially during mating season.

The spam is still there. How come?

There were 76 threads when I posted this, now I'm seeing 60. I guess someone is taking care of it.

And another edit (after ~3 hours): 48 threads still listed. What's going on, GOG?

Nobody working at GOG today? After 15 hours most of the spam threads are still there.

Even without any people on board it looks quite easy to stop such flood with some easy algorithms. We're living in XXI century, come on, GOG.

GOG's logic:
– user with active account for the last 10-years and a lot of purchases want to post twice in a thread in 10 minutes –> forbidden
– user who created account 5 minutes ago wants to create 50 threads on General Forum containing exactly the same title and content –> it's fine

This is just embarrassing.

Why is one account allowed to start so many topics in one day?

Gibberish.

Even more spam (2 days old):

Multiple links, even an image on their profile, gambling related.

Time for action.

I totally forgot about the weekly mating seasons :).

Be vewwy vewwy quiet. I'm hunting wabbit-wolvs...

OP looks kind of suspicious, but who knows, and the thread was just necroed by a bot.




Edit: Bonus links! You never know what rabbit hole of spammer nastiness you'll find once you google one of them. I suspect that's what you get for not banning them immediately instead of just removing some of their posts. >.>

It should be clean now. :)

Thanks

Pathetic attempts of having the boycott thread locked. 92 posts as of right now.

Why is this even allowed?

Edit: almost 600 posts in less than 3 hours. I've not seen anything like this before.

Wow, that's beyond pathetic.
