GIANTS Software - Forum

Why is there all of the sudden almost a full page of posts that aren't even in English?

Looks as though it’s been hacked

Or just a spammer. Even after I posted this another topic popped up. Hopefully a moderator can clean it up

I reported one but not doing all of them. Last night this happened too. I reported like 5 of them.

was it the same person yesterday? I find it slightly humorous that the person's name is nomorethoughts79

Most of the time when you see stuff like that it’s a bot account. The account usually gets banned from the forums as well.

Last night was the worse I seen it get, the entire first page was the same topic. After I reported about 10 of them I hopped on over to the FS discord server and informed one of the mods on there about it and they took care of it pretty quickly after that.

The farming simulator league section got bombarded too.

goodness! i posted on discord, haven't heard anything back

Yea last night was bad. Full first page. Last nights post had a different name. Something that disnt make sense but I cant rmemeber it

All good. At least someones on top of it. Doesnt really bother me that much. Its just weird to have to look at and be like...... and have no idea what it means or says lmao

The forum moderators are already removing spam posts in the background we wont ever see. They can't react to everything immediately as they also have (normal) working hours.
Please be patient and keep on reporting strange posts. They will do their best to remove those posts as soon as possible.

Well, thx super duper to Jey for handling that, we now have a clean forum again!

This is off-topic but is there a list of moderators somewhere?

I wanted to ask if I could change my username to my in-game name.

Click on "the team" link at the bottom of any page to get a list of giants staff and moderators.
MadMax used to deal with name changes but I'm not sure if it's him or Chris now, I'd say send Chris a pm. Mods can't change usernames.
