    They could and should find people willing to work on the weekend guys, I'm not advocating against that.
    I'm just saying that we shouldn't be so hard on the CMs right now because none of them is being paid to work on weekend.

    Rugby_dog, would you feel OK if someone blamed you for something that happened on your job during weekend if you are not responsible for the weekend

    I know, bro.
    Not trying to disregard you, just trying to say what I said on my comment above this one

    If i can make a suggestion. You can only make a thread or post a comment if you purchased a game from Ubisoft or have a current Ubisoft connect subscription. Bam, problem solved.

    But I wouldn't blame the CM's or mods they don't work on sundays
    But someone monitors enough to close thread that talk about it (and the balls to provide as snotty comment as well)... color me confused.

    That was one mod and he did removed a lot of the spam thread, when I talked with him he said it was harder, because he was the only one and there was a lot yesterday

    fair enough but the comment was unnecessary. Could have just written "sorry only person online and am doing what I can"

    Judging from the announcement thread, the move is scheduled for tomorrow.

    If the automated spam checks fail, I'd suggest having someone in the community be given volunteer moderator status so they can clean stuff up. However, it would need to be someone level headed (i.e. doesn't get into fights) and who can be trusted by Ubi not to abuse their position.

    Feel free to nominate someone in case it becomes necessary

    I try to be here as much as I can - even during the weekends, but sometimes RL takes precedence.

    As UbiT00n pointed out they are becoming clever and they also post in existing threads and/or necropost - some escape the radar but the majority don't.

    This weekend was bad (over 200 threads) and I haven't seen anything like this for many years, but I try to deal with them every day.

    That’s about as useful on the internet as the battle belt.
    Very unlikely.

    Not bad, but what about hacked user who regularly post on many threads like @FcAc?
    Surely they just have resort create alt incase their original ones compromised (Pass and email changed).
