Spam threads - a message from GNHQ

Thank you.

I think GN should shut us down for a little while and sort this out as we are clearly being targeted - old threads as well as new.
I could live with that instead of this awful tsunami of spam.

I agree

I agree too - although why this site should be targeted, I don't know. perhaps they're practising for greater things .

I agree tickingbird.

This is almost like a hacking denial of service attempt.

They're adding to old threads now!

Why do spammers post these messages

Thanks a bunch for working so hard to dump the spammers!

I hope coffee breaks are put on hold for the tech guys!

Getting ridiculous!!!

18 since 9.30
Is it coffee break time at GNHQ?

Thanks LilyGransnet

Is it possible to remove them from the Active list too?

Normally, when deleted, they disappear completely.

I don’t know what others think, but I’m finding the constant bumping much more annoying than the spam threads themselves. It’s easy to avoid them.

Perhaps GNHQ can advise as to whether we need to report any new nuisance threads till the onslaught is over? They’re obvious enough from the titles.

Best of luck with it all, Lily & Co!

Is the bumping helpful ? Or is it just adding to the confusion ?
If it’s helpful I’ve nothing else to do at the moment 🤷‍♀️

Thank you but feel its a never ending task.

There must be a reason that this has started now. Hope the Techies can find the hole and plug it.

Then maybe they can get on with all our other requests.....

Thank you

and bumping again

I think Gnet is going to be kept busy all day. The spam posts are just constantly pouring in...

I thought I'd bump a few interesting threads that would have been pushed off "Active" so I went to the Arts and Crafts forum. Could hardly find any Arts and Crafts threads at all - the top half was all spam!

I’ve bumped a couple of active threads but I can’t keep up

And I have things to do today!

Going to be busy HQ they’re persistent.

It's fun today to say the least

I am not an IT genius by any means, but looking at the new posts from these scammers they are constantly starting new threads I imagine they/it are bots.

Thank you 👍
