Category: Zone BBS Suggestions and Feedback
Since yesterday, strange topics have been coming up. I see three so far, all with the same name, but under different categories. the topics are started by user #0, and of course there is no link to this user's profile. the topics are all called "Spupeceare". there's one on accessible games, I believe, one on The Rave Board, and one on Zone BBS Q and A. if I click on the topic, I get a message that says "Error! Ignoring 0 does not exist". does anyone know what's going on with this?
I'd say it was done by Kieranlittle667, user ID 9914, though I can't be sure. He came on the site yesterday, crashing our screenreaders and talking about cracked software, basically begging to be banned, so I think he got his wish.
This kind of thing has happened before, and the user usually eventually gets caught and is banned.
Yeah. I figured it was something like that.
Bringing this one to the staff, even though I'm no longer a CL
OK, scratch that. J and/or Chris are the only ones who can do anything about those, and they've been alerted to them.
Yes, I noticed this yesterday as well and thought it rather odd. Either it's spam and the system hasn't removed the topics properly, or it's something more suspicious. This reminds me a bit of what happened to Blink Nation; they're issues started off with a random user spamming their forums and stuff, and it eventually lead to the whole site being hacked and brought down. So, let's hope we can route this one out quickly before something like that happens over here.
Sorry, but I believe our staff is technically better than the blink nations. Smile.
These topics are now gone and hopefully the bug which allowed for this is also fixed.
See what I mean, and the Zone lives! Lol
