Spam Attacks Announcement

[pio]

Good evening everyone (or morning / day / whenever you see this)!

Unfortunately our community has been hit with a giant spam attack today.  We are not the only Invision community to have been hit by this type of attack in recent months apparently and it is still an ongoing attack on Invision communities.

We are working on rolling the site back to this morning, so the spam can be removed.  We're implementing the appropriate fixes right now on the back end.  Hopefully, with any luck, this should be resolved moving forward.

Please accept our apologies.  The moderation team now has DIRECT contact information to both myself and the site owner in case this happens again in the future.

Changes made so far:

• "Announcements" page on discord has been removed from general users temporarily to avoid spamming everyone's phones
• Spam protection on site has been changed to different levels than previous
• Currently registered spammers have been removed and banned
• Site has been rolled back to working status

Normally for the end users of course, this information would typically be hidden.  Well you guys know me, and I am just an end user.   So in the effort of full transparency, there's where we're at. 

Thank you,
~Management
