As everyone has probably seen, there are alot of links appearing in posts and signatures lately.

Just a little guidance for you.

1) DO NOT click the links. They could be litterally anything and could give your computer a nasty virus.

2) We can not moderate what goes on when you leave the Bloodwars forum via an external link.

3) IF IN ANY DOUBT, REPORT IT!!!

If something doesn't look right, do not click the link, report it to one of the team.

If you see a user with very few posts and a link in their signature, and they seem to post what looks like gibberish about a kitchen, chances are its a bot.

Keep your antivirus up to date guys.

Thanks for reading.

Funnily enough, the subjects are changing.

We are doing our best to keep it to a minimum, but in the meantime, please dont click the links in any of the ads.

Thanks.

Everyone is doing what they can bud, devs are involved we are just trying to keep it tidy until they can find a solution.

The capcha things arent 100% some bots can get around them.

C47 and the Dev team seem to have it more under control now just as an FYI for you all. Should see less and less of them now, but as ever DO NOT click on the links.

24k of bots accounts has been banned now.
There is around 18k more but cannot be banned with a script (different e-mail adresses etc.) so they still can write a topic from time to time (and will be banned then)

There should be no new bot accounts Smile - tested for last few days

Looks like this has started again guys.

Please don't even view the threads. Just sit back, relax and let the team deal with them Wink

If you find a post in your threads, PM one of the team.

Thanks for understanding.
