    What

    *Checks user*

    Hmm... they HAVE made two nearly identical posts... What is cross-posting, and what is a profile post?
    What do I search to find the bots? I don't think I've seen any on this forum.
    Do we report them?

    EDIT: I just figured out what a profile post is.

    Like, sometimes someone does legit make an account to post a suggestion, and this person totally may have done so and just picked the wrong thread. It happens.

    But I have reported a few new accounts after they have clearly scanned other people's posts and just reposted text in unrelated threads, a thing advertising bots do to build up a forum posting history and seem like regular users before they start making posts about how great such and such a mobile game is.

    You shared that idea for Dovetail in the tsw3 launch feedback thread didn't you?

    Happy New Year everyone!

    Changes to the Forums will be happening this week, so things might be a bit weird at times!

    Can't wait to see what you have planned for the TSW forums, hopefully you guys have taken some of the above feedback onboard so can't wait to see the future of the TSW forum :)

    Can I suggest putting up a forum announcement BEFORE making the changes so people don't get surprised by them?
    And when isn't this forum "weird" in some way?
