Over the last couple of days Pushsquare have been under attack by what I am guessing a group of spammers. Hopefully you all just report the post and move on that way Sammy and staff can get rid of them as soon as possible. There is no point in responding back to their posts as I am pretty sure they are either spammbots and/or don't stick around to read any comments.
I figure we all know this, but a helpful reminder never hurts.

Just wanted to chime in on this issue. We're very sorry about this, and are working to try and block these people from making a post in the first place -- let alone filling the boards with absolute nonsense. At the moment, I'm having to manually block each account and delete the posts, but this isn't ideal as we're getting attacked all through the day and night, and I'm not always online.
Obviously with E3 right around the corner, we need to get this solved sooner rather than later. Hopefully this won't happen too many more times, but as Tasuki says, please report any offending posts that you see, and please be patient while we try to lock these idiots out.
Oh dear, I don't even want to imagine what kind of tiresome work this must be for you guys. I hope you find a system-wide solution soon! ;(
It doesn't take long, it's just frustrating. The bigger issue is when this happens at night, and we're stuck with nonsense plastered all over the page for several hours.

Where exactly are we discussing this? 3 posts on the forum header page.
I think that's a bug with the forum software. Because I moved the thread, it's showing up two links. Just another reminder that we really need to overhaul the message boards at some point.

I have the perfect solution for you Sammy. It involves getting a case of energy drinks and a stack of great games, that should surely keep you up all night so you can deal with these clowns. Right, right? ;P

So, just to give an update on this in case you missed it, The Black Dragon from Nintendo Life appears to have solved our issue. Just temporarily, what we're asking you to do is 'apply' for the rights to post new threads. You'll still be able to reply to topics no problem, but right now, you'll need to get the required privileges to actually create a thread. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Wow, now NintendoLife is going under a major terrorist attack. At least it's just one guy though, should be dealt easily enough thanksfullu. But man, crazy stuff is happening to these sites all round.

That one was completely unrelated with the attacks here. That one was just one random nut job. I guess he was mad at the mod team or something over there at NL.
However trolls and spam attacks always seem to go up around E3 time. Not sure why but it always does.
