    since early this year, about 95% of forum registrations have been russian spammers.

    If you turned the political sub forum invisible do you think the number would drop off?

    No, it's not politics, it's mostly drugs and stuff.

    Not to kinda overstep my bounds, but can russian bot talk happen somewhere that isn't here. Little disheartening to get alerts in a welcome thread that are about russian spammers.

    Yeah, that should probably go to the meta forum tbh.

    Nothing relevant to add, just that I misread this as "Russian chat bot" and thought Seebs was going to add one or something and was sitting here going ???

    When I saw the thread title I interpreted it as a chat for Russian bots, rather than a chat about Russian bots, leading me to assume that Seebs was planning on setting up a chatroom so the Russian bots could talk to each other. I'm a little disappointed that this isn't the case.

    That is not overstepping bounds, that's totally reasonable.
