Hi everyone,
You may have noticed that there have occasionally been Russian bots posting stuff on our walls. Recently, the New York Times and other news sources have been talking about a massive Russian hack and malware that have been put on home routers (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/27/technology/router-fbi-reboot-malware.html). I suspect that these odd messages are related.
Please let me know as soon as you see them so that I can do my weeding before it gets out of control. Thanks!

Thanks! We saw one earlier today. Tapatalk updated something that I think has to do with this.

I hope there is a "permanent" fix for these bots! I wonder how they found this little forum community that doesn't pop up in search engines! Much... :o

Russian Bot alert! Our latest member looks suspicious. The first 4 letters are the same as another bot. And the location is Russia itself! Here's the member name Maximayzov (https://theplatformbuilder.com/forums/index.php?action=profile;u=27)

I didn't see any posts by this "member". I just want to be cautious.

There's a few suspicious members, but I don't take action unless I see them posting stuff.

Thank you for clearing Ting Thing!

A number of new fake accounts were coming in. Because of this I made it so that you need to confirm registration from your email account. Hopefully this will slow down the spamming and keep these forums in working order for everyone.

Good!

When I joined these new forums, I thought I had to enter one of those spam proof things. Those are fun! I don't see how a robot could get passed those!

I noticed more of them pop up

Me too. I'm getting tired of it! They are obviously bots too. Almost all of them mention their fake hobbies and stuff. And why would a bunch of 40-60 year olds want to use Platform Builder anyway? I do see people of that age using it. It's just that a bunch of similar sounding ones seems quite weird. These are truly bot's.

The fact that so many spam bots are finding their way here is both flattering and annoying.
Thankfully, I'm able to keep up with it all.

Thanks!
