They’re in the process of transitioning the boards to a new platform, which will help prevent this moving forward once implemented.

I recently posted an update in this thread: https://www.aapc.com/discuss/thread...ncel-a-flight-s.205742/?view=date#post-563903

In the meantime, I’d encourage everyone to report the profiles as you come across them. I included screenshots in the other thread to show what to look for.

Once you report and then ignore the account, the spam posts disappear from your view. They do get removed eventually, but reporting helps speed that process along.

Even though it looks like there are a ton of different threads, it’s really just a small handful of accounts each day creating them. Reporting at the account level is much more effective (and faster) than trying to report individual threads one by one.

For example, this one account made 264 overnight - if you report and ignore, it will instantly take those 264 out of your view

Hi Everyone - It's Alex from the national office. I'm working hard to remove these as quickly as I can along with a another team member. I've also elevated this to our technology team. We're trying to get this resolved. I appreciate your patience!
Suggest key word blocking and language blocking which could stop them before they make it to be published. The concern is also that other areas and your entire system is infiltrated, not just the forums. Thank you.
