Are spammers working overtime today?
First of all I was surprised to see 15+ new activities and I was like wow!! But then realized that most of them are spams with only 1–2 legit ones. This is the maximum new activity number I have seen so far on Fluther. Have you witnessed more number than this before and was it legit or spam only? Thanks to mods as well for quick clean-up..)

This was the most activity I’ve seen in ages and yes, two thirds of it was spam.
The Spammers heard there was a drop in Activity on Fluther. ;>)
All of my “Activity for You” was spam. At least it woke up some questions.
There was a time when every 1 second you reload any page you got new spammers on the Community Feed. That was what caused the mods to change the login algorithm.
Then one day one spammer posted on one question every 1 second. They got to hundred posts before getting banned.
One of them is. The 75 spammy posts that have woken up old threads today are just the work of a single ambitious guy.
^wow..seems hard working guy..)
Holy hell lol I got 24+ notifications. Right away I was like “Probably spam”
I got 36+ notifications I marked all activity as read.

If you think this morning was bad, this evening was far worse!
Well, that was an adventure!
I think I caught everything, but if I missed something don’t hesitate to flag it again. Our inboxes are pretty flooded right now!
Thank you mods!
This came to mind with all the spamming today: No matter how many times you save the world, it always manages to get back in jeopardy again…. Sometimes I want it to just stay saved, you know? For a little bit… I feel like the maid: “I just cleaned up this mess! Can we keep it clean—for 10 minutes?”
Edited to add: thanks, @muppetish… and will do!
Thanks so much @muppetish . That troll this evening was awful!
Funny the spammers start coming in mass just around New Year.
Tonight’s wasn’t a spammer, it was an old troll.
Wait that person’s been here before?
@SergeantQueen They knew too much about various Jellies not to be an old Jelly but the avatars were not recognizable.
Was it RANDY, I only want nice people to answer? ? ?
I was apparently about to be arrested for SEXUAL something or another.
Yeah I got accused of sexually harassing them but I hardly PM people here. and never in a sexual way
Do they know about me? I’m so curious :D
I think you were on the list too.
^Which list are you talking about?
I made the list too. @imrainmaker The list of people who she/he accused of sexually harassed him/her.
I didn’t make the first “List”.
I definitely noticed the uptick. So annoying. I didn’t see any of the troll’s posts.
ok.. @RedDeerGuy1. I didn’t make the list either I guess bcoz I didn’t see any troll’s posts..)
Instead of spam, why can’t they bring pizza?
