Today, when logged into the OTT Forum, or when not logged in, I see weird Asian appearing text.
I tried using four different browsers.
Brave (Chrome)
Chrome
Firefox
Microsoft Edge.
All four browsers display the same issue.
OTT Website problems?

I report weird/spam messages, too. Then, I ignore the poster to remove them from my view.

Just to be more precise, you were seeing the titles of several SPAM threads that were on several of the different forums all posted about the same time with a title in Japanese (I think).

Wow, with an owner & 3 moderators I'm amazed they are still here.

N.Y,
Allowing porn pictures of underage Chinese girls could get the site owners in deep trouble. It's just not right to leave the crap up so long. Maybe it's a new way they are generating revenue 🤔.

I've been working all day, logged in earlier and didn't see anything so it hit after that.

You think we sit on here 24/7/365 monitoring every single post that gets past the spam filters?

I delete an average of 10 spammers a week that get past the spam filters.

One of the sites I moderate, ten a day, each making 20 posts before I can spam ban them. Ugh. Waves. A few weeks then they go away and then a few months later, they return. Last summer it was airline booking right now, Temu.
Almost all from Reliance Industrial Park in Mumbai.
