I don't know about @QuadR8.

In the case of @Wolfwoot, he has created a game, and he came to advertise.

In the case of @QuadR8, his post should be in the game forum, not the general forums. And while @Wolfwoot might not be a bot, SRC isn't supposed to be used for advertising in the first place.

@QuadR8, potentially is.

Don't reckon @Wolfwoot is though. There is also no game forum for his game, yet, so he was unable to post it there. I cleaned it up regardless because advertising your game is definitely not supposed to be done in the 'Speedrunning' section.

Apparently this is where I report users. https://www.speedrun.com/user/Jarhead_71 was banned a while back for trolling and spamming discords. He came back very soon after, same name, same pfp, some of his runs even got transferred over.

He's back at it again. Came into the speedrunning community discord under an alt and trolled there. He still has the same toxic attitude in various game forums that he was banned for. It's the most blatant ban evade ever, and kinda defeats the point of being banned in the first place.

This user provides links to unsolicited giveaways for premium currency for the MMO, Warframe, that originates from a gold reselling website, where many people of the community believes is illegitimate. While I do not find this as a bot, per se, this is the second offense this account has posted on the forums, the first of which I had deleted. I initially wanted to edit the link out of the initial post for the offender to see my response and to use this post as evidence to the developers, but I am unable to.

Can the link in the offender's forum post be deleted, but the forum post be left intact? I'll reply again if the user posts again for more severe disciplinary actions.

Caught up to here.

@zopney I just went ahead and cleared the account. Regardless of whether or not those links are legitimate, to which I won't test myself obviously, the site really isn't the place to be advertising that kind of stuff.

Doing this weird thing where every forum post has at least a single character changed into a hyperlink that always go to the same website, and made multiple posts in a very short span like this, looks like a bot.
