Not sure how many of you are still here, but can you please put a temporary hold on all new account registrations until there is a permanent fix for this bot situation? I just reported at least 12 spam posts in about 30 minutes and they're still continuing to post. I'm getting sleepy. |

Take about 5 minutes to stop them at the source if anybody actually was paying attention or cared.

Well this is an interesting new development.
Apparently I can no longer even look at profiles to see what the obvious bots are up to.

If the bots have reached the level of control where they can now remove access to features we are screwed!
May as well just abandon the place and let them have it at this point.

Yep, it would appear that some of them have figured out how to get elevated privileges. This is very bad. Edit: Or it's possible that they have edited their privacy settings like I just did. Tony, click on my name and post a screenshot of what you see now. |

I tried to change the privacy settings, but they won't save when I click that button. All of the settings reverted back to allow everyone to view all blocks. |
