Flee Fleet! Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I didn't know where else to make this topic, and it's likely unnecessary but... The General section basically got a huge spam (or it was hacked or something, or whatever it's supposed to be called) by three different users (who are obviously the same person), and it ends at page 31. And I just think it's hilariously ridiculous. So, uh, hopefully it won't spread to the other threads. How long will it take to delete all the topics ( or for any other solution to solve the problem).

Kazuya Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I noticed the double post as I had a double post. I'm still a bit of a newb when it comes to forums, so uh sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moblin Major General Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I didn't want to make a new thread for this, but SD just got hit with another bot attack. 10 pages worth of spam topics. And they're all in Korean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VincentASM Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Thanks for pointing out the spam topics and a huge thanks to the admins/mods for clearing up the messes ^^ Whew, I'm glad it's not too difficult to clean up the trash using the forum tools. That said, it was a pain in the butt right before I was in a meeting XD I've also banned multiple IP ranges, but the spam bots seem to have a wide variety of IP addresses at their disposal.

Doesn't stop bots from making new accounts using different fake IDs. I've personally noticed they spawn in the hours around GMT 1 AM.

It's a spam bot, it's going to say something like "click this link and buy this product/service" I don't know and I don't CARE. I just want it to stop.
