I've been flagging them as fast as they are created, but it's a losing battle.

Well, Paizo appears to be aware of the issue. Threads are disappearing quickly, but unfortunately they are appearing as quickly as they are being deleted.

I flagged a bunch as well, and them seem to have all been removed. Thanks to Paizo and to those who flagged!

I was also flagging. Easy way to find them was to click on the user and go to their posts. About 6-7 accounts all posting the same thing 4-5 times each. Made it easy to flag them all.

Just remember kids, never feed a troll. Kill it with fire.

I reported more than 20 accounts. It was as much a DOS attack as it was spam.

Yeah I just came here to make a post as well. Got a truly awful dm from the same source I believe. Thank you staff!

A request to staff:

This was the same person who was trying to flood the forums with that same harangue last weekend.

Please, please have someone ready to react on Saturday and Sunday. It doesn't do any good to have alert users flagging and sending emails if no one is paying attention to the inbox.

This guy seems determined to take down the forums and irritate members with vile PMs.

We hear you. I've been dealing with the accounts as they pop up. It appears that they were using this forum as a list of who to send the PMs to, so Ive locked the thread to prevent anyone else from commenting. Continuing to clean as I see them.
