New PC messages in "chinese" symbols?

Recently I have received many error messages when opening posts.
PriusChat - Error
The requested thread could not be found.


And,many posts are in a foreign language.

I realize this is not the place to post this but, I have searched and can't find any where suitable!!

 

This would have been the correct forum PriusChat Website Questions | PriusChat It is possible by the time you read this it will already be moved.

If the moderators are cleaning spam (every language is a foreign language to someone) out of the forums, you may find that certain posts existed when you clicked on them, but not by the time you went to that page.

Why would you click on a post in a language you don't know? (I click on them to report them to the moderators)

 

what device are you operating from?

 

This is my home pc.
They show up in my inbox as PriusChat but title is not in English as they have been fore years. AND I do not open them! Just delete.

Just wandering why the change.

 

we're getting a lot of international members, just trying to keep it open and friendly.

 

Most posts on Prius chat are by English speaking folks, so you see them in English.
If the person posts them in Korean, then you see them in Korean.
The internet is worldwide.

 

world wide inter web. except for china.

 

I understand all of that.
But,no one else has gotten 6 to 15 posts in one day in a foreign language??
This started last week. and the
PriusChat - Error
The requested thread could not be found. started 2 weeks ago.

 

i never get them to my email, but i'm not signed up for any email notifications, except p/m's. there have been times when i've logged on and the first page is littered with foreign spam.

 

Yup I do
I report the first one, then ignore the author so I never see the dozen or so after it.

 

report it to who?

 

Click on the Report button at the bottom of every post on the website.

 

To the forum's moderators, via the 'Report' menu choice.

Are you 'Watching' a whole forum, with alerts or email notification of new threads or posts? If so, whenever those spammers strike, you will get these junk notifications. Across the whole PC site, they have been striking often.

 

there's a little rectangle in the lower left corner of each post that says '!report', click on it and type a reason for reporting then hit send, it goes to the mods.

 

Are you talking about the barrage of Korean spam threads that I saw a few days ago?

 

YES

thanks for the info. I didn't know that.

 

Tons of spam in the "Prius v technical" fourm this morning. Mostly in Arabic with a huge wall of text and some have a partial English subtitle mostly having to do with appliances???? Way too many to report (I reported a few FYI). It seems most the spam the last couple weeks are in the Prius v section! Weird?

Just a heads up to the mods.

Oh and also when the mods delete a non spam post from a member in good standing (I'm sure it has happened to a lot of us a time or two possibly) I was just wondering why no quick explanation? One can't stand corrected if one does not know what he/she did wrong when one of your posts just disappear.... I.e. Wrong fourm subsection, or inappropriate, or.....

Thanks mods

Another feature of the internet is that it allows you to translate messages you don't understand. In case of curiosity, I mean.

A really nifty website would do that automatically so you'd never be inconvenienced by funny-looking squiggles. Not that it is the job of moderators here to undertake such.
