Every so often you may see a spambot get through our filters and a spam message get posted to the forums. So far we have seen mostly nonsensical spam originating from China where various groups are apparently attempting to scatter propaganda and change search rankings maliciously.
DO NOT POST IN SPAM THREADS
If you see a spam post, click the report button. Do nothing else. Do not attempt to argue with the poster or ward them off. In the vast majority of spam cases, the spammer is simply a computer bot that crawls forum sites and creates accounts until it is able to get in and make a post. In any case, responding to spam is simply playing into the objectives of the spammer because it draws attention to their message and bumps it to the top of the forum repeatedly.
Thanks
