Well the Chinese have invaded....
Time to change passwords.

This was the only place my post would show. Delete as needed.

Sent from the inside of a giant slug in outer space.....

That's written in Hangul, it's Korean.

Yeah, good to know....

Just cause its in Korean doesn’t mean its from Korea.

Hell could be US based.....

Spam about gambling - betting, casinos and lottery.

So do we need to change our passwords?

It's a non-stop bot attack. Thousands of posts now. It was confined to Board Business, but I've seen one in the DC section.

If it keeps spreading it'll make the place useless.

Yes, that's started again in spite of Ublock Origin.

It forces you to accept, which makes your privacy settings change from rejected to accepted.

Just random posts.

I've had one of them today so far. For the first time it remembered that I'd selected 'no' to everything. Yesterday I had to keep individually switching everything to no every time it came up.

Probably that 400 pound guy who sits on his bed all the time. I hear he is causing all kinds of problems.

Wait! What! I have accepted this as I was assuming this belongs to SSF... Whst did I do? Need to change anything ?

Need to change anything ?

All your credit cards, your residence, and your name.

You have to click the blue Privacy Settings button in the bottom right of the screen again, and select reject all.

But Quantcast are determined to make you accept by throwing that pop up on the screen.

Have you considered entering the witness protection program? I hear they do a good job!
