Please, when you delete the spamming messages also delete the accounts and block the email addresses.
They should already be in infringement of this forum’s T&C.

While the messages were deleted, I can still see the accounts

Hey Paul, thank you for the heads up :slight_smile: I deleted all the topics and banned the accounts.

Will talk to the team to figure out the best way to avoid this in the future.

I just deleted two AI spam PRs from the Meteor repository. This is becoming an issue everywhere. We are inching closer to the dead internet.

Looks like the forums are currently under spam attacks. I will keep deleting things as they come.

I think we need to develop an AI to deal with those AI.

Looks like things are quiet now. We’ll have to see what Monday brings.

I blocked the user from the Meteor org on GitHub @storyteller, if anyone sees more of these, just report it and we will get notified and take action.

Ideally GitHub itself tackles this issue at some point since it affects everyone.
