Forum Issues

[DickNervous]

Is it just me or is anyone else having an issue with the Playtest forums?

It seems that suddenly the only forum that I can eve view is this one, General Comments. When I try to view the others it tells me I don't have permission.

Me too, lots of Russian (?) spam on the forum as well

Off Topic pretty much means spam these days (and been an issue for awhile now)...

That's why we have an Off Topic Forum - Russian spammers go there and leave everything else alone

Not always, but the majority of the time at least...

Used to have actual discussions in Off Topic once upon a time.

I use the off topic forum for random names for NPCs now. :mrgreen:

Everything is better now, though there is so much to catch up on I almost wish I couldn't see all the posts... :mrgreen:

Can anyone read Russian? Maybe they are having in depth debates about fascinating topics and we are being left out!

Edit: I went and looked at the off topic forum. It's just porn spam. Where do the Russians come in?!

The IP addresses used are a lot of times from Russa. Or at least they are in the other forums where I am an admin. I imagine it is not that different here.

For some of the recent ones:

US, France, Germany, Romania, Netherlands...

But that really doesn't mean a whole lot, a lot of times it can be a computer who's owner doesn't even realize it's being used for that or a proxy located in that country.
