Welcome to Gaia! ::

Bots have been too much of the problem lately.
I think they're just trying to help but a bit too much.

btw, u have to edit the notification setting
My Gaia< Account Settings < My Gaia Notices

i got that a while back during the Easter event. i don't even remember really looking at it, i just saw "username and password plz" and i told it to bugger off (i.e. i closed it). it was only once, and it hasn't bothered me since ._.

what HAS been bothering me lately is a supposed anti-malware ad that shows up as a dialogue box, and it'll start doing something if you try closing the box (and of course, it won't let you click anywhere else, so you can't just ignore it), so you have to manually terminate the program through the task manager -_- it was on Gaia a while ago, but people complained about it and they got rid of it, but i keep encountering it on other sites like deviantART and FF.net :/

i should change the notifications. i keep getting those "such-and-such on your wishlist is being sold on the marketplace for this-much gold!" messages.

yeah, that's the one <.< if you try to close the dialogue box/pop-up, it'll start saying it's scanning. which isn't good. the annoying thing is that i swear it's started to get smarter, because occasionally Windows would just close the tab it was in and then recover it on the page it was supposed to be on, but when it does that nowadays, it leaves it at the stupid ad -.-

if those notifications are still there, i'd say report it in the bug forum ^^U it's probably a glitch.
