There’s been a definite uptick on spam bots lately, all Kbin users. I’ve been reporting them as I see them while browsing new, but it gets tedious. Sorry about the report spam, mods. Does the new user registration need to be tightened up any?

    I’m aware. I don’t think that reply is really necessary of a tag as I’m sure you and I both know he’s busy. This problem is fairly common among kbin native magazines as well and not limited to the federated ones where Ernest is assigned as the owner and moderator. And yes, I’m also aware that it’s something Ernest has talked about and plans to address. I’m not hating, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s still an unfortunate situation.

      This month, the largest update is planned. It’s taking a long time because part of the team is returning from vacation, hence the delays. I hope that the update will resolve some of the most pressing issues. I’m also trying to remove spam systematically, but currently, the code is my priority. After implementing the new version, I will seriously address the community.

      If there’s anything urgent, currently contacting through the form is the quickest option. Cheers!

        No worries, I understand these things take time and that the code takes priority. Thanks for taking care of the login bug btw and keep up the good work. Cheers.
