As it has been brought to many's attention, we are recently experiencing a huge amount of spam. This happens from time to time, bots beat the system, and then they attack every site using said system. You'll be safe as long as you don't touch their posts. If you see a suspcious topic, just report it to a moderator using the report button, or by telling one of us directly if you're talking to us at said time. How to tell if it's a bad post? -If the member is brand new and telling you about a site (look at post count) then they're not trustworthy. Report it. -If a member has posted several topics at once, it's spam. Regardless if it's human or bot, report it. -If the user has one post, is promoting something strange, and has no signature or avatar, it's probably a bot, report it. Like I said, you're at no threat right now, as these bots only see what you (regular members) can see. If you clicked a link, or submitted any information, I recommend scanning your computer immediately with a virus and malware scanner to ensure you're safe. Once you leave our site, we cannot garuntee you are safe from viruses or malware, so it's best to be protected. We apologize for any problems this may have caused. I'm sure More Staff will update as more information becomes available, but the best thing you can do for us while we look for a fix, is reporting any and all suspcious users and posts via the report button on the post or profile. We will respond swiftly to ban members and remove posts. Thank you for your help during this time Newfoundking and the EMP Staff EDIT As MikeyPI made mention to, posting replies to spam topics doesn't do anything at all, except pad your post count, and for those 6 seconds the topic will exist, I don't think the plus 1 is worth your time, since we'll delete it from your count and lower it by ten because of me... mwhahahahah
