Hello, Today as you can see we have been spammed over posts and PM. This happened for about 30 minutes till I managed to put the forum into maintenance mode. It is clear now after taking a close look at the information they were using that these people were using the same email address types as last time, and the photo's posted are quite large. One of the photo's is actually against the TOS so we will work on removing it. It seems someone is "Well-against us" and uses other coding and design forums and makes them look like dirt, which theyre not, it's not the forum's problem that it's happening, but both us and them look bad. I've tried to get in contact with PB so we could run a backup, but seems they're asleep or something, i've had no response, I tried to get in contact straight away. Please use the report to mod button if you see spam, it would help us greatly. Thanks.  |
