yup there was a flood of bots the other day.
i flagged a couple of them in the ‘something else’ so the forum mods would see it.
and a great job they did, all of them gone in a blink of an eye…
’ thanks mods’
Yep, all day yesterday the discussion forum was flooded. I posted about it in the “Bug Reports/Website & Forum” area in the afternoon, and a few hours later my post was gone, but so were the spam postings, so I’m glad that someone was paying attention.
Hey,
There was a bot raid, I was informed about it on our team chat 7 hours after it started (which is pretty bad). The raid was still going on when logged on the forum.
I quickly looked for a pattern in the bots’ messages and pushed a rule to block them, which worked instantly.
Me and @BrainFog_シ cleaned up the forum, as if nothing had ever happened
Here are the numbers:
- Duration: 7 hours
- Bot accounts: +500
- Spam topics: +1000
Best regards,

I flagged the first 30, and then gave up after that. I made a topic about it while it was happening but when it got rolled back it vanished.
Thank you for the help mods!!
i only saw the first two pages ad comment on that.
now we don’t have any excuse to not fly to somewhere.
1000 topics?
that’s a lot of pages
XD I posted in discord about it Got to give the person thanks that to get rid of all that XD
Yeah that was wild lol
i seen that and thought “wow how sad.”
idk what people get out of doing something like that.
The thing is, I thought you had to post 10 times before you could create a new topic, and you had to be a player before creating a forum account?
it’s ‘Hacking’ it bypasses everything.
if you see it,it already stole all your info.
never leave info on your pc…have a gaming pc and another for other stuff.
here come the bots again !
time stamp !
They will… I’m here
If they adapt their tactics, we adapt ours too
Rules updated
