Is someone actually moderating around here? A bot put up several threads about scams in the Off Topic forum, and they're all gone now. Neat!

Some kind of shadow-moderator... a ninja-moderator... a moderator with no name?

Yeah, I'm still around, not posting much at the moment due to real life work & study commitments but I'm keeping an eye on the report queue.
Well, for what it's worth, your efforts are appreciated! Thank you!
Bot spammer slamming the Off-topic page -
Wow, the bots are spamming the official reporting thread.
That, or as they've gained sentience, they've achieved a level of confidence befitting organized crime groups that commit crimes right in the face of the law with impunity, y'know, stuff a couple of $100 bills into the shirt pocket of the chief of police and expect him to turn his head while they bury a body in the mayor's backyard.
" antonioyt4951 " has covered literally the entire first page of the Video Games forum with ads. Please do something about it.
Also marzuk, Rtgcghii, and usasports1. All three of which have made over a hundred posts in just over a week, consisting entirely of ad spam.

Thanks guys. Unfortunate timing since I was out all yesterday and that seems to be when a particularly virulent wave of bots decided to activate >.>
No worries; as long as you're willing to stick around and do God's work when you're able, I think I speak all of us when I say we appreciate you!
Pretty much if anything ever happened to Jojo that would be the end of the Escapist forums.
Like, really, really bad... It's been seeing a huge uptick. Every single time I check in during the day the recent activity feed is largely bot threads. Is this something that can be kept up with?
It'd be nice if we could make a few more mods, but if all else fails and it become unmanageable Jojo can just sticky all our main threads.
I figure JoJo keeps up as best he can but yeah this spam is getting absurdly out of hand.
