Spam issue

Someone is spamming Scirra forums and tutorials. They do that from different IP addresses, so Scirra can't ban them.

When you open the link, nothing appears because Ashley and moderators delete those spams as soon as posible.

It's becoming quite a PITA... My email is being flooded by these "new tutorial notifications".... How are they getting added without a valid user account?

Unfortunately its as easy to make new email addresses as it is to get new ip's.

You have to look at it as nothing more than a child throwing a tantrum.

A disgruntled ex C2 user perhaps..............

I've unsubscribed from the tutorial notifications. It was getting hard to spot real emails in between all the Scirra spam.

It didn't work - still getting spam. I'll try unchecking all the subscription boxes on my profile.

Ahh it didn't work. I've changed my email... make it stop

I suppose it takes time for the mailing list to update.

For people having issues with the mailing spam due to newly tutorials being posted, please consider temporarily unsubscribing and check newer tutorials manually until we get the spamming issue fully resolved.

Thanks.

Would it be possible to have global temporary unsubscribe (set from admin level) until problem is solved?

I've had almost 400 separate tutorials spam emails over the course of 12 hours, had to turn off all tutorial email notifications to stop it. But even though I stopped it, they keep coming! Why won't it stop if I told it to stop in my account????

It has been over a half hour since I turned off the tutorial notifications to my email, but the tutorial spam keeps on coming!!! Since what I am doing does not work, can't somone at Scirra stop it ??????

I woke up to 15 tutorial notifications and it's still ticking them off every few minutes it seems. I'm sure the Scirra team will deal with it shortly though.

Yeah the whole Captcha thing is pointless as long as there's cheap labor to do the dirty work.

No point in speculating in what they are paying them, my guess is they would kill their own family for a smile.

I had to unsubscribe from Scirra emails, after 30 or so emails, it got to me.

Since my first post on this and turning off tutorial notifications, I've received about 100 spam emails from this - in just an hour... I have now turned off ALL emails from Scirra, so let's see of that works in stopping it!

Some for me. I unchecked everything, unsubscribed and still getting them too. This morning I had 230 in my in box and on avg 10-15 per hour so far. Arrrrg.

Looks like prior entire thread in which the topic was spam email coming from tutorials was deleted for some reason. I have been getting 60-100 spam emails per hour to my email from this, even though I turned off all notifications, including those for tutorial updates, and yet the spam keeps on coming. Is anyone at Scirra doing anything about this problem?

I´m receiving too...many, many emails ;
