We've rolled out a spam detector update that should be much better with detecting hacked accounts that post fake "game updates" in comments, among other things. We also did a pass on collection spammers Spam is a never ending battle, but hopefully this update should noticeably improve the situation

Before planning the perfect crime, the first step is to review the dossier specifically the record of the target's routine actions. The higher the player's INS(Insight), the better the quality of this record and the fewer "empty" tiles there will be on the starting map #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart
