There were so many spam posts in Chinese that Google literally prompted me to translate the page.
So I translated the page.
These were the results.
They're advertising... universities?

Hilarious how they haven't been taken down yet. Does ANYONE monitor these forums?
Seriously?
They do in fact monitor the forums along with their other jobs for the volunteers, have real life responsibilities, also cover the Steam forums. Then you also have the ones that work for BHVR who've already gone home for the night but still check in occasionally.
There's a reason tha spammers post during a certain time of day because currently until they add more moderators it's easier to get past currently. You also don't see all the spam the filter catches either which is a huge amount.
Those should start disappearing soon™ given the time of night when the mods have more availability based upon prior experience.

Usually the mods take it down pretty quick. Why these forums though? Like the most viewed thread only has like 1.2k views.
Well they spam across all forums for all games the same thing and they get paid for views so the more people that open them the more they make. Due to the law of averages they'll get at least one sucker from someplace to fall for it.
As the great P.T. Barnum once said, " There's a sucker born every minute"

We do. I just got off work and got pinged about it. They're gone now.
There's not always going to be someone watching around the clock. Moderators are volunteers and are not on a schedule. We're spread a little thin right now because a bunch of us got scooped up as ACMs, and we're trying to keep an eye on both the official and Steam forums. We're looking to expand the mod team soon and hopefully cover things a little better.
Best thing is to just report it. We check in pretty often, so someone should be able to clean it up pretty quickly most of the time.
