Hello,
There’s a specific person who is participating in targetted ongoing spam on the forums, they have no intention of any kind of genuine discussions and there only purpose is to spam and necro gdkp threads.
They constantly make new gdkp threads and i would like it to stop. The forums are being flooded by them.
I won’t mention specific names but i have the suspicion that most people know who I’m talking about. Ive used the report feature numerous times and nothing is done can someone in customer support area take a look at the reports i’ve submitted and the post/history of the accounts reported and actually investigate these people to stop this.
Thanks
Unfortunately flag and move on is ur best option i get it i realy do but sooner or later its gona catch up to them and they will get a forum suspension.

If moderation haven’t done anything, then it means the person is not violating the Forum Code of Conduct. Keep in mind, disagreements doesn’t mean spam. If you wish to not see the user, than place them on ignore. If they have their profile hidden, manually add them to ignore.
That is not the purpose of Customer Support. If you think someone is violating the Forum Code of Conduct, report them, then place them on ignore.
Looking also at your posting history too, Ripsod, some of it, I would be very careful as well, including part of derailing threads and trolling as well.

There’s actually someone spamming threads with very long ChatGPT generated posts, and that’s literally all that character posts. I’m not exaggerating or making a baseless claim, it literally looks like a bot account.
Flagged as many of their posts as spam that I could before being timed out but they’ve been doing it for awhile now. Literally dozens and dozens of very blatantly AI generated posts that completely ignore whatever points were being discussed.
Unfortunately while ignoring someone does help, it doesn’t stop them from derailing thread after thread because inevitably someone else will respond and then your thread goes completely off the rails.
And yeah they are right Ripsod, this unfortunately isn’t the right place for this post. I know who you are talking about and I’ve long since ignored their main character at least but they keep bumping all their posts to bring them to the top again.
Best we can do is make use of the ignore and report features.
It really seems like the forums are less moderated than the game by far. I’ve seen people making implied real life threats or other things, then delete their post and brag about how it doesn’t matter if they get banned because they have 3 other forum accounts to post from. People will follow you and reply to every post to insult you.
Basically just things that would never fly in-game happen here all the time.

Thankyou for your advice. I will try to figure out how to manually ignore someone with their profile hidden.
Click your character icon on the corner. Go to Preferences. Go to Users. There’s an option there to manually add someone.
Edit: to grab the realm name you can still click on the users “view activity” option like you would any user on the forum. It won’t bring up anything, but their realm name appears in the URL.

On your own forum profile, go to the Preferences tab under your character profile and forum stats, and then go to the Users tab of the sub-menu that pops up.
You can mute and ignore at your discretion on that tab, just make sure you enter users in name-realm format, e.g. Ekon-WyrmrestAccord.
