Spambots are seriously annoying, but there's not much you can do about it... @2elle2 It can't be typing in a different language, the posts contain links to webshops and stuff like that...

@dionaea Yeah, probably not.
All we can do is report them and let @Ian do the rest.

Spam bots are robots that adversities things. They do not hack user's account.

@linpug
That was a long time ago. The first post of a thread got deleted because of some glitch, making the second post - a spam bot's post - look like it was first. People thought the spam bot had hacked the thread creator's account and changed the username and post. xD

I haven't seen any lately. o_o Guess I haven't been looking. xD

If you use symbols, by pressing the option button and typing in something, that also turns weird.

@ladybugheart'

It's probably like last time around, it was only a few threads that were infested, but those were infested pretty badly. If you happen to not visit those threads it's possible not to see them at all.

*gets out pesticide*

Just wait till I see em 😈

They're back.
They're like zombies.
They're back from the graves.
Advertising their clothes and their Codings of death.
