This is the official thread for reporting suspicious activity on the forums. If you see any bots breaking the rules by spamming, advertising, posting shady links to weird websites - report them here! Moderation Team will do their best to keep such posts to a minimum but, as you might imagine, it's impossible to keep an eye on every single thread 24/7. That's why we need your help, anti-spam force! :)

Big kudos to everyone who created and contributed to the unofficial thread!

Please keep in mind that this thread is for reporting ONLY! Any offtopic discussion will be removed. Cheers!

Only report bot accounts/spam in this thread. Its purpose is not to report other users. If you see a user who you believe is breaking the rules, message Staff privately instead.

The bot/spammer that has dobbed itself in just above my post, here ^. Just in case it blends in, and is inadvertently missed...

cose_vecchie: A post that doesn't make much sense in context, looks like a bot to me

I don't know if the "Report" function on reviews works, so I'll mention it here: the review of Defender of the Crown from May 6, 2022, (the most recent review currently) by JanPling9 is a copy/paste of a paragraph of TonyPod's review, but with the attempted addition of a unrelated hyperlink.

Don't know if this one was reported before (it's from July!), but in any case:

I'm somewhat sure, Brittany from Pakistan is a bot:

While not a bot, someone did just revive a 500 day old thread to bash someone else.

French guy, repeatedly made aware that there is a French forum for him to post in - simply doesn't give a shit and is now posting this:

"I think I'm stoned by almost the pros who forget that France is in the top 4 nuclear power.
When the other is going to freak out, the polak, what are you going to do?
You shit on France so in case of war I turn on all the people outside the territory"

If you let that stand unopposed, you may as well publicly invite all the trolls on 4chan, to take a dump in your General Discussion.

Edit: he's back: https://www.gog.com/forum/general/message_disparu/post21

"Je me tape de me faire ban du forum. = I'm dying to get banned from the forum."

Why don't you grant him his wish?
