Have you found anything yet?
Things are either being cleaned up by people very quickly, we're at another lull, or GoG has gotten an answer in place.

I hit a bunch of TW2 threads this morning (and a handful of others), but now when I check the affected subforums the threads disappear half the time before I get to them.
They are back in the BG forum :-p

Seems as if our community is fast enough to kill those spam threads within seconds!

Against my better judgment I flagged some, but only because I was waiting on the microwave.

Tomorrow we'll be celebrating a weekaversary of the Korean spammer.

That is probably what GOG counts on as well, instead of taking this seriously and taking some basic measures to counter this bot spamming.
Discussions Générales started getting some new hits..
What I don´t understand:
Sometimes after I marked a thread as spam it jumps back to the forums list, so I can click directly on the next spam thread, but most times it does not. I can`t figure out the mechanism behind this, if there is one!

When you mark a thread as spam and it disappears you go back to the forum list. If it has not been marked as spam enough times to disappear then you stay in the thread and have to go back to the forum list yourself.

Ahh, thanks, sounds logical!

Aturuxo: I stand corrected, I knew you had to be more clever than that :)

Elmofongo: Of course you think I am that stupid to actally use the direct spam links?
I never did think that, hence why I 'couldn't believe what I read'; no offense was ever intended and I'm sorry if any was taken.

Hickory: 'Working on it'? It's the community that has been 'working on it' -- so far, GOG has done nothing, at least that one can see. You'd think the blues would talk to us, at least, and let us know the state of play. Sheesh!
How long has it been now that they're giving the same canned reply?

It's no secret that the forum is at the very bottom of any of GOG's lists, but they should have taken at least some temp measures, the situation is damaging their image.
