Spammer reposted ALL messages in the mod discussion area

[sensenmann]

Someone named "ch1naa" took all public threads,and reposted EVERY message available as a comment. I feel like this should not be possible. URL to mod: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/alien-module/discussion

I got the same problem
It would be nice if we could delete postings on the mod portal discussions, atm you can only delete the whole discussion which is suboptimal since he replied to everything.
A "report" function or banning certain users out of your mod portal discussion could be helpful aswell.

It looks like a spammer try at botting or someone fooling around.
Every thread on first page of mod had all replies in it posted again as quotes.

Might be someone looking for vulenrabilities also or trying to overload portal.

Somebody was fooling around, with more than just the mod portal. Their attempts have been futile though.

The spam has been dispersed of, any notifications should be gone too. Sorry it wasn't done yesterday, Sunday happened.

Also, only people who own the game are now permitted to post on the Mod portal.
