Bad news: Spam has been on a serious uptick around here lately.
So the team tweaked some settings and the filter.
Good news: Spam is way down.
More bad news: Some non-spamming, definitely member types are getting clocked by the spam fighting SiteBot.
It's by no means an epidemic, but it's happened so I want to get this message out there to the good, non-spamming folks of N4G. :)

WTMG's Jordan Hawes: "Tales of Kenzera: Zau is a great concept that was clearly pushed forward by a good writer and storyteller. There is a deep narrative here that I enjoyed and it really carries the whole package here. While it starts out as a fairly simple, run-of-the-mill metroidvania gameplay wise, it is unfortunately brought way down by its lack of polish and design. Too often I felt like I was fighting the game itself instead of actually enjoying a good challenge. While the story shines bright, its enjoyment is diminished by its frustrating gameplay design."
NE: "Kirby's been on more than a handful of adventures, and we've gathered a list of 10 of the best Kirby games here."
WTMG's Aaron Price: "Overall, Sker Ritual was a lot more of what I wanted and way more than I could have expected from it. Is this going to be a Call of Duty: Zombies killer? Maybe not as of now, but it’s clearly a really good step in the right direction, as that series simply doesn’t care about having to improve anymore. Even though it’s completely different from its predecessor, Sker Ritual is a pleasant surprise, a well-polished game, and something I definitely plan to continue returning to often, especially if there are any big content updates in the future."
Good news
If that SiteBot attacks me; I'm reachin' for my flute...
Great news. It's good to know that the admins and mods actively fighting against this crap.
Spam is actually a good sign, it takes a good site to get spammed, it means you're doing something right.
Glass half full and all that.
I mention the word Google and the site thinks I'm trying to submit spam. I glad its fixed now.
The person behind the spambots will just modify their comments so that the system doesn't detect them. I already seen it happen on other sites. For instance they might use symbols instead of letters, space out the website name or instead saying .com they might say dotcom.
