Hinted forum ops about spam in General Discussion - Got myself banned ?

So I yesterday night noticed that forum General Discussion area was full of spam, about 2 pages of some gibberish telephone numbers and such, (now removed).

So whats going on?

This was the message (removed the spam bot name):
“Sorry to bother, just noticed this, while reading forums, probably just some bot but anyway user xxxxxxx has made 20+ threads that clog General Discussion.
Maybe someone can block / remove those messages.
Thanks”

edit:
And what is even worse, it seems like it’s really hard to contact or even find contact info in this kind of situation…

Seems like forums are closed for new messages/read only due to server updates

  • I only noticed it now -

So this is most likely the reason, just started connecting two separate issues too early I guess…
