Since the credit card incident, a spam bot has been showing up, especially in adult games, constantly posting the phrase “Thousands of Adult Games Here”

along with a clickable link that leads to another website. That website is basically a full clone of Itchio, with thousands of games that were simply downloaded and reuploaded there.

When is Itchio going to take action against this? I find the anti-spam system here very strange. I ve been shadowbanned before for things way smaller than what this person is doing, yet nothing seems to happen to them. 

Also, trying to ban or report these bots doesnt solve the problem, because they always come back with new accounts every single day! Itchio should blacklist their website ASAP!

Bump. This needs to be dealt with. How hard is it to prevent new accounts from posting throwaway comments, especially ones containing links?

The forums are also being attacked by bad faith actors pretending to still have problems with seeing NSFW content on the site. My account has the setting to see those games activated by design, and I STILL have to go hunting for them.

Wait a minute... did you follow the link? That's dangerous, bro. I wouldn't have done that.

When I complained, they accused me of not wanting to help the developers... today I must have deleted about ten of these messages that lead to other sites...
