Popped in while in game to check on stuff for raids and happened to see this spam garbage all over the forums. I hope the mods will clean those posts up so the rest of us decent posters don't have to look at them.

Unfortunatly, the spam posts seem to occur quite frequently at this time of night, however the Wowhead mods do a fantastic job of cleaning up the forums as soon as possible. I suggest reporting one of the posts as spam and noting how many other posts by that same user are spam and what forums they are in to assist the mods. For example: poster has made 25 spam posts in the general forums.
Edit: seems there is one poster with over 60 spam posts made this evening, which is one of the highest number of spam posts by one poster in quite some time

delete'ing this time around seems a bit slow.
some of it has been up for over 2hours and i reported them when they were 5min up.
ooh well, geuss we just got to be patient for the mods too show up and clean it afterwards.

Moved the topic to Wowhead Feedback.
Sorry for the delay. I'm in the EU but haven't had a chance to sit down in front of my computer until now (10am here).
The site is working on a solution but there's no ETA just yet.

seems 1 has escaped your clean up asakawa.
was posted by a person who didnt make any of the other spam topics, so thats why you probally missed it.

the spam has returned :(
hope you guys can come up with a good solution too counter it.
but i understand that might be hard cause the solution might negatively impact the users (especially new users). but i know you guys can come up with something that works!

I certainly hope so.
I've taken care of the most recent incident.

Erorus and I have been testing the anti-spam measures today. It looks bug-free, but I can't say for sure when the code is being deployed with the holiday weekend coming up. The solution has been fully worked out though :)(##RESPBREAK##)2##DELIM##perculia##DELIM##
