I wonder....do they think anyone would be dumb enough to actually try buying any of that stuff? o.0

At least that one was recognisably an advert trying to sell something. What's this thing?

I think it's trying to sell shoes... from 'select retailers'.

Some are putting more effort than others. At least the fake passports ones are mildly hilarous.

Isn't the captcha supposed to prevent all this? Since when did spambots become so proficient at clicking all the squares containing vehicles?

I still mourn for missing my chance of becoming a druglord. Did anyone on the forum pick them up on the offer?

I have the same question about the Vampire Kingdom.

Some of them aren't bots...they are essentially people paid slave wages to post such here and elsewhere. :\

Do you get a vampire kingdom or get to move TO one?

You get to be scammed, I think (see attachment).

Eh, if they don't want me money then i'm good(oh and if I don't have to become a vampire as that would suck....pun intended).

One GOOD thing spammer bots dfo is sometimes call attention to good threads or at least decent ones from the past.

Don't forget: click (-) then "report as spam"

Woohoo...quick reaction from GOG...all of the threads gone.

Wow...

In the time, it took me to click (-) and then click "report as spam" on the pictured spam-threads - four new spam-threads got posted.

Edit: 30 spam-threads...and counting...33...35...42...44...47...49...53...57...60...64...67...69...79...86...90

Edit 2: never was I so glad to have to prove that I'm human everytime I log into GOG...I mean: if it helps to prevent mass-spamming, it's worth all the hassle with the captcha... ;)

Edit 3: is GOG just slowing down, or are the spammers managing to send their threads time delayed? They pop up several minutes down the line...

Attack seems to be over now...well - that was an intense hour.
Edit...well, not quite over yet...

There needs to be a way to contact support IMMEDIATELY for cases like this since there is not 24/7 moderation present. We are drowning in spam here.
