Spammers? Am I suddenly the most popular person here(nope)? What’s the word mod folk?

I’ve gotten 6 today already. Never played them or communicated with them. It seems fishy or should I say phishy

That’s a thing??? That is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. Why does this website even have that? 15 and counting.

Now it makes sense. The iOS app doesn’t have that feature. Trust me it wasn’t for lack of looking. Looks like I’m logging in on the craptop. No problem. Thank you, Martin.
