Weasyl concern by Trix Master

Why is it that every time I go to check notifications at 2:25 am, there is some nasty bot account reposting others art and linking to an illegal website? Like I report every entry with a clear virus link, but damn it seems like this site does get an onslaught of these.

Lack of staff/management.

Theres currently no moderator admin to remove posts. They recently quit.

The dev admins are trying working on the tech side for spam, but dont have the ability to mod posts like mod admins.

The site owner doesnt come online here.

  Oooh... Actually sounds like my last volunteer moderator situation tbh. That explains a lot. Thank you for filling me in.

    its a super sad situation for a site to have. When the leader poofs its really hard to get things done.

      It really is. I think it worsens when the leader occasionally comes back, "says they're going to fix things" and still falls off the site. tl;dr don't volunteer mod for DarkSpyro.
