I’m tired of scrolling down threads and seeing gibberish that I don’t understand being spammed.

    I wish there was a hide option for threads. That would help.

    I've been getting froum locked because I report too quickly #########. But they've got 74 as of last count 10 mins ago on the 1st 4 pages from several different posters. I wish they'd give us the ability to block them till a mod takes care of it ie hide them.

    I'd stake my forum privileges on being able to hide spam posts for further review by regular mods. If I abuse it than revoke my posting rights for x time or permanently. But this is ridiculous that it happens every 2 weeks like clockwork or so.

    agreed. they need a late night mod, and you would be a good one.
    Or just more mods in different timezones.

    I think an issue like this, although petty, shows how inactive the mods are.

    They're not inactive, they just don't cover enough time zones. Most of them are from the USA, as far as I know, making them irrelevant for the other 2/3 of the planet's timezones.

    I stand corrected then, still raises an issue of coverage that should be addressed.

    I made a thread in Forum Feedback, but because this scourge started during the weekend, I doubt the devs have read it.

    Yeah, I just noticed your post amongst the sea of Chinese posts. It is a good suggestion and hopefully will be followed up.

    What’s funny is everyone speculated that he had two more accounts, removeswf and some other one I forget and ever since the ban I haven’t seen that other account post and on top of that I saw where he was stalking @Lowbei on a different name and I guess that’s the one you’re talking about lmao wow

    I know it’s awful but I was kind of hoping he’d post a video ranting with all the event hooks sabo’d and the only survivor caught wiggling free and continuing the chase while all the gens were popped around him and then DC lol I kind of miss those videos he posted

    PSA for people reporting the spam: Make sure you use the report system at the end of the match and provide video evidence. Otherwise there is nothing that can be done.
