spam messages in comments section - Screenshot_2021-02-20_16-22-51.png (80.44 KiB) Viewed 241 times
The most generated errors being found on Opencart forum originates from contributed programming. The increased post counters are caused by redundancies of the same solutions that were already provided prior.

I wonder why no other extension authors care about this.

Since it's always the same thing, some text with a link (some times it's a cutt.ly short url which I have reported) it shouldn't be that hard to deploy countermeasures such as filtering for the exact link, limiting the number of times a user can post, disabling links in the comments, etc.
Yes, you are right, I have seen this issue also on other pages too.JNeuhoff wrote: ↑Sun Feb 21, 2021 12:34 amJust a brief warning: It looks like the opencart.com website has been compromised, currently there is a spammer posting messages on the OpenCart marketplace comments sections for most extensions, see for example below screenshot. For the extension authors please check your comments sections, perhaps it may also be a good idea to get in touch with the OpenCart support on this, too.
I don't know but still, Opencart is unable to stop this spamming.
As @johnathan has stated new protections are in pipeline and it
will be tackled very soon.
Come on, OpenCart, a simple anti-spambot tool or captcha will do, it's not that hard to implement!
