Spam issue

There seems to be no way to stop it, as you may find out.

Either Scirra has stopped it, or I have (for myself) by going into my tutorial subscriptions and unchecking the broad categories (i.e. All English Tutorials).

https://www.scirra.com/tutorials/subscriptions

The method of unchecking tutorial sub categories , which I used early on, did not work, at least not for me. Looks like it has now stopped though in last 10-15 minutes, so I assume Scirra stopped it.

They are probably trying to destroy the reputation of Construct 2 and upcoming Construct 3 . May be other similar companies competing with scirra like yoyogames and gamemaker studio are the ones behind this attack? Because few months ago Adventure Maker website (desktop point and click game maker engine with drag and drop) was also attacked and their website is down due to sub attacks

Does Nobody else is receiveng these massive emails from Tutorial?

Is anybody fixing it in Scirra?

No, but I was not subscribed.

I'm now getting hit with loads of bogus tutorial emails again, so yeah you're right Cliffu, unsubscribing doesn't work. There was a third explanation apparently - the spammer was just taking a coffee break, haha... Time to add a new spam filter!

Cliffu: The topics are not deleted but the duplicates are merged to this already existing topic posted in the correct place in the forums.

Please don't post yet another useless duplicate.

All: Reminder : https://www.scirra.com/forum/spam-issue_p921298?#p921298

Yes, Scirra is aware, yes they are doing what they can to get rid of those waves of spam.

Sorry about the inconvenience.

Thanks a lot for your patience and comprehension.

I have been gone for about an hour and returned to find the spam to my email continues. The strategy of unsubscribing from tutorials - which I have done early on - does NOT work. I still am getting spam long after I unsubscribed.

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.

ugh this is getting ridiculous. please remove

If you remove their account, there's a good chance they will just create it again, possible on a different IP. Yesterday someone spammed the blog with over 10 accounts.

For those who report user name accounts, don't bother.

The name you reported were actually already dealt with for hours before you even posted. Reporting names in a topic don't help.

As with any spam, if you find a problematic post in the forums, please do a report clicking the triangle in the top right of any post.

This is the best report you can do.

No let up in sight. After about 90 mins, I got almost 50 spam emails.

yeah. I just had to delete around 300 emails. Good thing i have them go into a separate folder

maybe temporarily disable tutorial making until a fix is found? i keep getting emails from them
