☠🤧🤷‍♀️SPAM ISSUES🤷‍♀️🤧☠

[Jak Angelescu]

We have been repeatedly getting issues with a Spammer that has a similar name that they keep using. The address is coming from China and other countries. I have banned several Users with this similar name and have eradicated all of their content yet they keep forming new similar screen names and spamming the riffs and the forums. I will be taking this matter directly to Syn and Patrick and Mike to see if we can get this fixed once and for all.
EDIT PLEASE READ THIS

A student just came to me and said someone tried to hack onto her account.
PLEASE ENABLE TWO-STEP VERIFICATION IF YOU CAN TO PREVENT THIS...

IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW...

Go to your profile and click on 'password and security". Click "enable two-step verification" and follow the prompts.

Mike has been emailed and Syn is aware of the issue. We're taking care of it asap

From China you say? Hopefully they don't spread Coronavirus all over the site.

Even though the IP address may locate as China, there are several methods to change your IP address to mask away the real location. Similar to those annoying telemarketers asking about your car insurance. This bot is posting in Korean trying to advertise for BTS. (BTS is actually not my favorite KPOP group)

Yeah I'm aware. It shows up as like 5 different countries believe it or not

While I'm not familiar with that group, I totally use to study Hangul because of being in taekwondo
What's your favorite kpop group?

It works for my University though. They jus block Ip addresses from certain countries and the only way they can get in is by sending phishing emails to university emails and some dumbass clicks the picture. Gmail has a pretty good spam filter too

Did this a couple of hours ago. Not a fan of two step verification with an additional app but I'll do it for the SGS

 

[Jak Angelescu]

I'm not a fan of it either. But I really appreciate you guys doing it

 

[Calvin Phillips]

Those damm bastards man. I guess you can't scare them off by telling them to go away eh...I feel like will on stranger things.

Thanks for the heads up Jak. Why can't people leave good things alone. Why do people always feel the need to mess with good things......
