Looks like the forum was attacked by an AI bot

Security needs to improve. The forum is flodded with posts from an AI bot or a hacker.

    We have applied an applied spam filtering mechanism today. We will keep monitoring for the next few days to see if that helped. Thank you for reporting.

    I marked 9+ screens of spam… about 190 messages

    When I mark as spam the message is removed and I **think** a notice is sent for an employee to review and ban the user… is that true?

    There is also a ‘ban the user’ option with spam marking… however, since volunteer mods are still not allowed to move misplaced messages I really doubt that we are allowed to ban users

    I am now at the Character Animator Beta forum… about 6 screens deep in spam

    Thank you for your diligence. Did you receive a lot of spam in the last 9 hours?

    When you mark something as spam it is sent to the moderation queue. Do not use the ban user option, just mark it as spam.
