Hi,

there seems to be severe spam problems in the forum. It‘s quite impossible to have a good discussion anymore among all those spam threads. Hope you get rid of this.

Agreed - I'm surprised it's so bad for such a (relatively) small forum - hopefully there's some bot options/filters that they can play with. 

been reporting them as i spot them.

Also reporting them.  So annoying.  

Thank you for reporting the accounts y'all!

We're really frustrated by this and sending daily reports to our website team to help with limiting these accounts as we know it's affecting your experience. They're working on better fixes to prevent this from continuing.

i've been moderating forums for 20 years, i know the frustration. i'll keep reporting them as i see them.

seems like the only forum not affected yet is TPH, i've reported all the TPC ones aswell. and any new ones that pop up.

Only way to improve a community is work to help out, so I've been reporting threads this AM in Welcome. Lots of stuff about contacting Facebook support and removing antivirus software today for some reason. Kind of a boring copypasta; they could have at least relived some internet classics rather than this!

yeah it's been an ongoing thing for the past few days, all the same crap (kaspersky, facebook, avast etc..) a lot have been removed but new ones keep popping up, hopefully the G2G team can sort something out or have some kind of active moderation.

Yeah, that'd be ideal. Need either a dedicated hit sqaud for the forum that can cover a 24 hour block or some good spamblock. Ideally both so the team isn't flooded with things they don't need to be, really. 

they have started appearing in TPH general discussion now.

well i've been reporting them all day and aside from a few this morning being removed, they're all still there
TPM: Welcome & Info forum
TPC: general discussions forum (nearly 2 pages of that one)
TPH: general discussions forum (only 1 thread thankfully)
