I'm sure by now some of you noticed we're being bombarded by bots spamming links to soccer streams and stuff like that.
We're trying as hard as we can (and dedicating as much time of our weekend) trying to clean up the forums and banning these bots (deleting their threads and permabanning their accounts).
Sadly, as our manager said, it feels like we're in a botocalypse. They just keep coming. As an fyi, we'll be solving this issue as soon as possible.
Until then, I'd ask you guys for a bit of patience and to not click these malicious links (yes this is obvious to most, but I figured I friendly warning wouldn't hurt).
Thanks for your understanding, and sorry about this

if you were using mybb i could suggest you Goodbye Spammer plugin
Right. It isn't something they would patch cause it's simply what it is. It's still disappointing.
