Why is there so much spam???

Who hacked reliant_robin1? He spammed so much.

 

i saw that too earlier

Well, they're at it again, who/what ever it is.

 

Cramousse too
I think that the BeamNG Forums got hacked and anyone of the guys in the Forums could suddenly Spam this "Tokopedia" sh!t.

 

I skimmed his account, it looks like it was created specifically for spamming (albeit some time ago, like a sleeper agent), or was at least abandoned by its original creator. It's an over 2-year-old account, with no profile picture and no activity to date.

Edit: I'mma go ahead and say it, there should be limits on how many threads can be created by any one user over a 24-hour period. Like, there is no valid use case for anyone creating ten threads in a day, let alone ~20 in an hour. The only reason I can think of for why you'd want to let users do that, is to prevent encouraging spammers from spamming with multiple accounts (which would be harder to clean up). But even then, supposing that spam actually is effective advertising, multiple accounts spamming would still sound more lucrative than one.

What happend to reliant_robin1 now? Was he banned? Because i somehow can't go into his Profile anymore.

 

Well, if there's 20 threads all advertising something there is a very high chance you'll actually fall for it, like how making a discourse of high quantity but low quality will get you to manipulate people more easily. Yes, there should be a limit of 4 threads/repo posts / day, assuming one posts 2 mods and creates two discussion threads for it, that is the only reason (other than spam) why somebody would create so many threads in the first place.

 

The moderators should block him
