Whats with all the spam? A bit disturbing seeing such a flood still here after 2 days.

Honestly, the whole situation looks like most of the dev team have abandoned the game. First, no communication at all for more than a month. Then just a very short note in the "It's an update" post. Then again, silence. And now this.

It would be nice from the devs to explain the problems to us. It has not always been like that, earlier the devs have been quite responsive. I think something catastrophic happened and the game will be closed soon. Again, it would be nice to be proven wrong. We already saw nice videos, it would be really bad if all that would be gone now.

Gonna have to agree here. I've donated and supported this project for over a couple years but the lack of communication is now just unacceptable. Either you are serious about this project or not. I just don't see the problem of popping in here once a week to post a screenshot or a small update like here is a new costume piece, working on some sound effects, just got a new animation for x power. At this point, I just won't buy the "but it takes away from development time." Does it take 3 hours to form one paragraph and post a screenshot?

The last time I questioned this project, some posters jumped down my throat for criticizing changes on the website such as listing previous donations. I was told it was coming after a database merge. That has easily been over 6 months ago. Is it ok to complain now? /s You removed the ability to see my veteran rewards and never restored it. Is there any interest any tracking these anymore or is the information lost or worse, just not a concern anymore.

Now with this spam posting and no moderation or cleaning up makes me really wonder if you just letting the project die a slow death.

Sorry for all the spam. Should be cleaned up now. If you see more, please report it as we get an alert about it.

We've been quiet as things have been a bit hectic both on the development side and we're a small team and several members have been dealing with family or medical issues. Things are settling down and we should be on track and hope to have news on alpha soon.

Sorry to hear abiout the mdeical issues.

Best wishes and I hope your team gets well soon!

I'd say the stress is half-and-half... and not the kind I put in my coffee unfortunately!

Here we go again.

Well, at least this will make you think about handling spammers in-game.

Same thing happened last night but they were much quicker to respond. Come on guys, get your game together.

As we've said, we are a small team. We can't monitor the forums every minute waiting for spammers to attack.

The best thing you can do is report spam when you see it so we get an alert and will deal with it as soon as we can.

That being said, our web developer (who also is one of the game programmers) is working on adding more anti-spam measures to the forums.

I did not even saw it this time between my last login yesterday and now

So I'd say as fast a response time as any forums (even big commercial ones) I've seen hit by that crap.

Usually I do not even bother, initial thread was only because spam-flood lasted for 2 days.

they seem to be hitting on sunday afternoon/evening. Probably someone that is mad about the private alpha/lack of information. Devs are doing all they can do about it. not much else to say.

Something that crossed my mind too for a few sec, but that must be a very mentally handicapped individual, considering the team constantly needs to move the focus away from their big info release to delete that crap.

Such a person would probably shoot his left foot to make the pain in the right foot go away from stubbing a toe.

Maybe someone from the "competition"? But that seems rather... juvenile then.

We have added a few layers of anti-spam protection. We have a more advanced system brewing, but hopefully the current implementation isn't too bothersome and gets the job done for now. Thanks, as always, for being so helpful.

Maybe add a "3 topics per day for new non-certified accounts" rule.

have you guys disabled forum posts showing up in search engines, they might be using your forum as a billboard disable the internet search option and it should remove the incentive to spam also make it 1 or 2 topics a day for new member accounts

Will pass on the suggestion, thanks!
