> [@Jonathan\_Chance](#): > > As you all probably know we’ve been undergoing a spampocalypse over the last few days. We’ve been working to keep the inconvenience to our users at a minimum. > > We’ve been doing our best but we’re all deeply grateful for those of you who have reported each incidence of spam. Without your extra eyes we might have missed some and allowed our spamming invaders to make some gains via their obnoxious behavior. > > Again, thank you for your efforts. I know you all hear a lot that you should report posts you think are questionable and it would be easy to take that as empty boilerplate. It’s not, I assure you. And never has it been more helpful for you fine people to report posts than over the last - and probably next - few days. > > Thanks again. Well, even a blind pig… 😃 ---
