It has been brought to my attention that there are a couple of old updates that have been spammed with bots:

> **[Gladiators – Gems of War](https://gemsofwar.com/gladiators/)**

> **[Chain Reaction – Gems of War](https://gemsofwar.com/chain-reaction/)**

> **[1.0.7 Out Now ! – Gems of War](https://gemsofwar.com/1-0-7-out-now/)**

Many of these posts even date today. @Sirrian and other devs, are you aware of this? Requiring an account to comment, while inconvenient, may act as a temporary or even permanent fix. None of them have tried occupying recent updates, but it is only a matter of time before they do.

Oh, newish ones have it too it seems, just not as bad:

> **[Thunder Down Under – Gems of War](https://gemsofwar.com/thunder-down-under/)**

> **[Baby, You’re A Firework! – Gems of War](https://gemsofwar.com/baby-youre-a-firework/)**

Can confirm. Opening up Gladiators nearly crashed my browser. Going to just take Tacet’s word on the other ones.

Yeah, it is actually on nearly every single update post ever. The first 3 are the ones hit the most.

I’m working through and fixing some of these… there are even MORE that have never been approved, which I need to work through as well, so it’ll take a while.
