Title: Spammer/troll alert!
Post by: Rhi-Rhi on January 25, 2013, 12:43:46 am
This is just a head's up to let folks know that there is a troll/spammer going around the RPG community.

They haven't shown up on RotE yet, but they've been hitting a lot of major RPG directories and the RPGs on them, as well as going through a website's affiliates and hitting all the games associated with them. They tend to join up and PM-spam everyone with disturbing images (gore and other explicit pictures), and troll folks in the cbox.

So just be on the lookout! If anything strange pops up, please PM me or Tally immediately!

As a precaution, just until this blows over, we're going to limit the PM permissions of newly registered members.

In the meantime, we suggest that if you get a PM from a newly registered member, especially one who hasn't interacted with the site much yet (such as introduced themselves or posted a character profile) to hold off on opening the PM until me or Tally can get online and confirm that they're legit.

But with any luck, this'll all blow over soon and the pest will never hit us! <3

Hide your emails, peeps. If this is who I think it is, they like to use the email addresses of registered members and staff to make their accounts.

I've gone and made sure that email addresses are invisible for everyone on the site now.
