We Are Cleaning Up Spam Posts from August 3-4

Hi all,

It looks like we had some spam bot activity over the weekend (“some” as in over 1,000 posts) with what I assume are fake support numbers for various airlines and software products. Thanks to @JarbasAl for bringing this to my attention in the Matrix chats this morning.

@NeonClary and I are actively working on cleaning up the forums and implementing some new posting restrictions to get things back to normal. There may be some unscheduled downtime for updates, but I will try to put up the usual downtime notice and schedule it about a day in advance.

If we accidentally swept your valid post in with other deletions, please reply to this thread and we will try to take care of it.

Thanks,
Daniel McKnight

@NeonDaniel , @NeonClary Thanks for keeping this venue alive. It is appreciated.
I’ve had to step away from Mycroft/OVOS for a while, but will be back eventually with hopefully some useful code for the community.
