No

It's just some ❤️❤️❤️❤️ spamming the forum

Muhsterino

They are so annoying, getting in the way of genuine posts. I noticed there are nearly 3 PAGES of junk in bugs and issues, where it is difficult to find posts by people who really need help.
Edited parts from the forum rules:
......disruptive to the forum ...... will be deleted.....
..... spamming... is not allowed.
PLEASE mods can you delete them all? Thanks.

One day wonders using a new user name to spam.

JonOfMeans

Thanks, mods

More posts are showing up

I thought going to the user page and selecting Ignore would hide the posts but it doesn't.

Should we Flag the posts ?

IckabodSchrek

I just flagged and reported the two user names, so hopefully they will be gone soon. What's the point of this anyway? So stupid, most people here can't read it.

These schools must be attracting some really "top notch" talent

adruralo

It's getting absolutely ridiculous. Please someone deal with it!

JonOfMeans

They're competing with bots, but I agree

IckabodSchrek

I think they just keep creating new user names. Neo posted in OT that they are "dealing with it". I'm sure they'll get it taken care of soon.

What makes me wonder is: why tho?
Who would look at a post in a Game Discussion Forum of a mobile game full of chinese characters and think to themself: Yeah, I should totally go to Brown University.
Everybody knows the best education is only available at Clown College.

Bots?
Only Simpsons tapped out EA forum is being targeted. No other EA game discussion has been targeted.

I just did a Google Translate on one of them. It reads:

"We've been observing your Earth and we'd like to make contact with you."

Somebody learned something and they're flexing their muscle, ... not their brain power

I guess you let google select the language

I don't get what they're trying to accomplish..not very smart marketing. All they're doing is making people angry. Stupid.

I imagine, but still: why this forum? With those universities? I could understand cheap iTune gift cards or something likewise. The quality of spam bots really went downhill these days.

Looks like what they are "offering " is fake credentials for degrees.
