    Why isn't someone deleting Chinese spam nonsense?

    Why is the forum now filled with adverts for university places across North America, Canada and Europe, all in Mandarin/Cantonese?

    Surely it can be removed for any or all of the following reasons?

    A) Making the forum look dodgy and completely moronic.
    B) Having nothing to do with the game.
    C) Pushing other topics off into page 2.

    Also, having not been that bothered to investigate fully, do we even know if this isn't something illegal or at the least totally unsuited to a forum about a game?

    Someone needs to delete it all asap.

    If it is due to the time difference that could genuinely be the problem. That said, the moderators on this forum have a peculiar sense of priorities.

    Because they are not easy to delete, once one gets deleted 20 more appear. I think you have to ban the bots or put in a filter to stop them, nothing easy about it.

    I don't get it, we have to put in that stupid 6 digit nonsense (which sometimes is really difficult to see or figure out) before we can post, how can a spambot get around that?

    Have just tried reporting those posts but get a 'bad request' page each time. The game get's hacked, the forum get's spammed - Anyone actually working today?

    This stuff was all over gaming forums a few years back and it took months to stop it. Now it's back for revenge.
