    As we know, Wynncraft has a requirement of 10 posts in order to post links, the main intention being to prevent spambots using the forums as free advertising. Recently we have seen a resurgence of these, with the difference that they use the thread title as a link. It doesn't work directly as a link, but it does allow them to direct us to websites. Obviously this should not be happening. I do not know if it would be possible to prevent this like we do actual posts, but it is getting a bit annoying, and our mods have better things to do.

    If you do spot a thread like this (characterised by a link in the title and a new user with no profile picture) please do not reply, and preferably don't view the thread either. Instead, please report it to a moderator, who can have the thread taken down and the bot banned.

    This is in the Feedback section. It's not a suggestion.
