Is no-one else bothered by all these posts by this one guy about some black magic ****? Look at the "new threads" tab, all this one guy spamming the same thing. I've never seen this on any other forum. I guess I should go to forum support about this, but I can't be the only one who noticed. (I'm no bothered that he said black magic, I'm bothered by the fact that he's there and he's really annoying.)

I pretty much report em as soon as I see em. :V

Doesn't bother me, at least not like the first time they showed up, spamming full pages of rubbish topics.

I see them all the time. It's annoying to see one spam a few pages with their useless topics.

Evil black voodoo magic! They put a spell on us, and now we're theirs.

It's great how they aren't even coherent. It's like the bots have no effort put into them, which is pretty spectacular. Either way, they're gone in about a hour, so I'm not too bothered about it.

The last big spam attack we got from a bot was not too long ago and it seems it spammed a portion of the forum. Not sure if that's the norm but I've only seen spambots spam in one or two sections, not half the forum. It doesn't really bother me anymore since I've gotten use to seeing it but I did report one of the spam threads.

We seriously need a [stronger] Captcha for these forums. I don't want to deal with them every single day...

Complaining about it isn't going to make them go away. Report one and mention in the report that it's in different sections of the forums and the mods will take care of the rest. If you have a weapon at your disposal (the report button) then don't be afraid to use it!

I'll have you guys know that this is not spam. These are legitimate inquiries made by an honest heart with difficulty finding the right forum who wants to make sure his gracious offer is heard. I was just thinking the other day, "man, I really need help from a black magic specialist who writes half his sentences in English and the other half in Sanskrit."

Honestly, I love them. They give the place character.

I came to this forum looking for help with black magic and was not disappointed. :^)

Gotta love that this "Black Magic" can apparently help you kill someone. I wish I print screen'd it but that's dark, even for spam.
