Chinese spam

I have noticed chess.com suffers a lot with Chinese spam on the forums. As a non mandarin speaker I was wondering if staff could tell me what the threads mean and what do they gain from spamming such nonsense. Are they trying to hack chess.com accounts or have they discovered a cure for baldness? 

thanks in advance,

Most recently it has been Korean and they get what any forum spammer gets, which isn't really that much, especially since it doesn't stick around very long.

What does it mean though. Are they advertising something?

Yeah, it's getting ridiculous. Every day around the same time like clockwork, the spam begins.

Can't chess.com limit the # of threads created?  Only one new thread every 10 minutes or something....  (paying members exempt, perhaps)

I don't think any member that uses the forums in a productive manner needs to make so many new threads so quickly.

Why is this enforced, but not a thread limiter? Surely, limits to thread creation are much more desperately needed and make more sense to combat spam than comment limits in a single thread.

On the positive side, let's look at what we can gain/learn instead. 

1. The use of google translate 

2. That not everything unintelligible is Chinese 

3. No cure for baldness yet

I think the onus is on the spammers to translate their own messages before posting. Why do their work for them?

Don't assume human beings are doing it. More likely to be code. Although, it is true they have shops running 12-16 hours shifts in the undesirable countries of the world, prisoner/slave labor forced to grind out their lives on the keyboard in the quest to earn pennies for the warden or other powers that be. Basically any half-way literate prisoner can be recruited for that task. Of course China and NK have no scruples and plenty of slave labor camps where torture is the norm.

That's not even Chinese it's Korean 😂

Well just report, the messages is not important and I believe the staff will solve it

You are a year and a month too late

Will be a good reminder for him or her👍
