Is anyone else here being spammed via Gaia's private message service?

Over the last two days I've been flooded by a bunch of Hi messages from new accounts that all used the same female avatar.

Must be someone playing with Gaia's server back end trying for the epic hack.

No sign of any spam messages in my PM box, Floyd.

Hope you didn't reply to any of them. Keep us updated. I believe this has happened on Gaia before.

So far today I have no new messages.

Guess the admins must have corralled the spammers.

I haven't seen any, then again I set my PMs to friend only.

Sadly this seems to be botters/scripters from what you're describing. It's not actually Gaia doing it at all, but lame a** dorks who have nothing better to do than create tons of accounts to use for spamming in order to gain teh goldz.

Smack that "Report this PM" button for inbox spamming if you'd like 3nodding .

Thanks and will do, Loki. wink

I'm sure it must have had something to do with an influx of 4Chan rejects who had a bit of a forum war Saturday.

Some of the stuff posted in GD was downright gory. One tiny video featured someone cutting the neck of a pig with a chainsaw. Very gross.

The worst seems to have passed by.
