Why is Everything now in some Foreign, Asian language which I cannot understand?

[qaija]

Why did my language change all of a sudden and, more importantly, how do I change it back to english?

If you mean on the forums, there was a wave of spam this morning. It'll go away once the moderators come online.

You can click on the user's name and choose "ignore" on the profile, it was only three or four accounts. That'll hide the posts.

Ereo, you're marvelous! Once again, thank you for your help. I thought perhaps someone had reported me and I had been permanently banned.....

 

[MogBeoulve]

Oh, thank you for the ignore user tip!

Massive amount of spam, you can report it but write reported on the post to not pepper the mods with messages

Oops, thank you for the etiquette instruction. I didn't know that either. Apologies to mods.

@Odin said it doesn't matter how many people report a post. They get only one message grouped together.

Ah nevermind then, still saves others time though

Yeah, the only reason to post something is so that others don't spend the time reporting when it has already been done, not to save the Mods any time. They got this stuff figured out already.

Sorry for the spam everyone, we are working to improve the filters, but unfortunately this wave of spam has been a bit more difficult to handle.

Immature, emotionally little children who were never given love by their mothers, and if present, fathers crave attention and spamming these forums is one way to get it. Having gone through a period during my youth when I did some unlawful things to gain attention I can understand their motives. I feel sorry for them. Hopefully they are young adults also and will grow out of the desire to harm others as they mature.

Fortunately, now that I know how to just scroll down past the spam it is a very minor nuisance.
