卄 INTR☹ ꒷꒦.DUCTI☹N !!

               ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ hi hi! There's been a few comments

               ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ recently about this, so the staff

                ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ team would like to address

                ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ this issue about it. This has

               ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ been happening for a few hours,

               ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ but we haven't brought it to attention

               ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ just yet until now. Please read

               ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ to find out more.

卄 Info ꒷꒦. !

               ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ s with a common name

                ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ in letters and numbers, or

                ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ others with a specific name that

                ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ can be seen in our amino

                ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ multiple times, have ed in

               ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ large numbers. This is one part

               ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ that we have noticed but have

                ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ never seen these s

                ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ online. In the examples below,

               ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ similar bots like these in another

               ⛓⁨ˎˊ. area, all they have done is gained

               ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ activity and are at the top of

               ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ the leaderboard. They are only

                ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ affecting the community activity,

               ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ and haven't been breaking any

               ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ rules. We can agree that this is odd.

                ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ We can understand if a ton of

                ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ at once, but gaining

               ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ hundreds more without any

                ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ of them showing up online?

               ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ we still can't quite explain in full

               ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ detail until we find the source.

               ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗   [ex ] :

卄 what ꒷꒦.to do ?

               ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ Don't panic though. There's no

                ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ harm going on since these alt

               ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ or bot s aren't ing

                ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ anyone. We have taken some

               ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ precaution by closing the community

               ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ temporarily. As of now,  

                ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ they haven't done anything against

               ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ our rules. If they spam messages,

               ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ , send graphic content,

               ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ or anything that puts s in

                ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ a dangerous or uncomfortable

                ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ situation, that is a different matter

               ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ and we will be sure to give

               ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ appropriate consequences to that.

                ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ One thing that we ask is to not

               ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ post about it. It may lead to wrong

               ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ assumptions and cause panic.

                ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ Now that we have this official

                ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ blog up, you are more than welcome

               ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ to express any comments here

               ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ or to one of the staff team

                ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ in pms.

                ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ In the meantime, we will keep

                ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ trying to find out who/what's

                ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ doing this and work out a solution.

卄 CL☹ ꒷꒦.SING !!

               ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ Thank you for taking the time

               ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ to read this. If you have any further

               ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ questions or , please

                ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ do comment or pm a staff member.

                ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ We hope this helped in clearing

                ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ up any confusion or panic

                ⛓⁨ˎˊ˗ that may have arised.
