Spam posts in tech tips

[tribpot]

A whole slew of them posted over several hours today. I've reported many of them but they're still there.

I’ve also reported some. Someone is having a field day

I've just come here to report them - loads of them.

And now branching out into Extra-curricular Activities.

Loads of them

Looks like they've all been zapped, thanks MNHQ.

Uh oh. Back again.

I'm getting loads of them. I have no interest in tech tips!

The last week I have reported so many fake posts on here. Its gone crazy. Luckily (?) they are easy to spot! Is this AI?

Hello, thanks so much for reporting them to us - we've been zapping away! Please do always hit the report button and we will get to them as quickly as possible.

Back again .. and this time doing a double post on each thread, perhaps thinking the spam gets deleted automatically so we'd have to report twice as many posts? I'm only reporting the second one of each thread.

I've been reporting as well, again.

Blud needs banning

I assume the spammer is registering multiple accounts @vodkaredbullgirl and MNHQ are banning each as it is used. But hopefully they will be able to do something proactive to keep this tosser out permanently.

There's a whole load of them again! What's going on? Why can't you delete them? (Perhaps close down this topic temporarily?)

Unfortunately there isn't one specific section they're posting on. They're everywhere. I deleted loads last night

Poster name is Blud. Nothing seems to be being deleted by MNHQ. Do you not have any staff on, on a Saturday night?!

Sorry @ANightwatcher - cross posted there!

@BIWI MNHQ should still be on. We don't usually get involved this early. I've messaged though asking if overnight registration can be switched off tonight 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Thanks @ANightwatcher , I don't know if there's something else kicking off that's taking up MNHQ's time as each batch of these posts has stayed up for hours over the last few days.

Morning, everyone. Thanks for letting us know about this. And apologies - we were a bit snowed under last night, but we'll check this out now.

I've been reporting the ones in the Behaviour section too. They're still there as well.

Beginning to think @MNHQ are all on holiday.
