I was about to PM hilariousandco, when I found this thread.
I also noticed the increase in Chinese spam in the past days. This
Chinese local board has massive spam, it's filling up the "Recent Unread Topics" lately. The first page alone in "Unread" has 16 new Chinese threads now, all without replies.
I can't read it, but from what I can see/translate, it's just spam. Create a topic and forget about it. A whole list of Full Member accounts, all registered around the same day, all just opening new topics in Chinese. Some with a signature campaign, some not yet.
They have literally opened thousands of topics in the past weeks.
hilariousandco, I'd be happy to make a list for you if it helps, but I think clicking the
Chinese board is quite convincing already. Can you work your magic there and do some cleanups?
