I think he's referring to the fact that it posted four times but he doesn't realize that it posted four times individually, each post a minute after the previous one.

Remember when the site got all these new accounts during the giveaway and when it was over they just "disappeared"?

apparently there is a glitch on my Fan-Fic thread where spambot posts were deleted and people posted behind it. the spam bot posts were deleted but the number of posts didnt go down. i think the posts that followed the spam posts are the cause of this "Glitch".

I have issues changing my pfp, before that it was Jet Wyvern, I tried to change to death solomon, but it didn't work.
Then after that the webSite displayed the image without a preview, and I couldn't view my pfp, now it's changed back to the default pfp, could anyone help?

I can't see the issue. But assuming it's just a spambot...I don't know what you expect us to fix, haha. We have provisions in place that catch most spambots that sign up. In the cases that doesn't happen, moderators usually deal with the issue before most people notice.

We have occasions where we miss one due to nobody being around, sure. But there's no long-term fix to this outside of us just manually handling those that slip through. I can only recommend reporting the post and moving on, haha.

These aren't technical issues. That said, from an organisational standpoint, we are looking to address much of this via new rules and guidelines, some involving some restructure of the forum itself.

Alternate accounts are obviously against the rules already and, if you know of a situation where alternate accounts are being abused, please report it to myself or another staff member.

Remember when I said we check for alternate and sockpuppet accounts before the giveaway ended? That happened, and we did completely disqualify some people for it too.

If people sign up to join the giveaway; that's normal practice, and I think everyone has done that at some point in their lives. And from an organisational standpoint, them signing up is exactly what we want too. We obviously want the community to grow, and events like that are a great driver for it to happen.

Though ideally we want them to join and stick around, discuss some stuff, join an event etc. Most of our feedback for why people don't engage onsite is because of low-quality posting and heavy spam from users treating the forum like an instant messenger, so it could well be that any users you have in mind are exactly in this boat; want to join in, but first at-a-glance impressions aren't great.

tldr: for several reasons, non-engagement from new users is normal and expected, but we plan to change that.

I can't see anything wrong at a glance, so any lack of updated post count could just be a caching issue. 

I'll keep an eye on it and monitor it over time.

I reset your avatar to the default yesterday as the one you uploaded was very much broken, haha.

Try the upload again and see how you get on. If that doesn't work, pop me a PM with a link to the avatar you want to use and I'll see what I can do for you.

Perhaps don’t joke on a thread like this? This thread is made for the staff to get information on any bugs or issues with the site itself, not a place for members to just post and crack jokes. The WBO random thoughts thread works well for that.

I’m not talking about the spam bots. There has been this problem where sometimes someone will post something on a thread and the thread will be bumped, but the message won’t show. I even made a post about it before in 2020.

That's because it was. The first post made with your account implied that you had logged out of your old one and created the current one because you forgot your password, see here:
There are two methods of reclaiming your old account. The first of which is fairly simple, though the second isn't.
First method: When on the login screen, select "Lost your password?". Afterwards, you'll be taken to a page where you can enter your email address. Once entered, you'll receive an email asking you to verify the password change. The email will contain a URL that you can click in order to have a recovery code sent to the same email address you entered before. That email will contain a randomly generated password which you can temporarily use to enter your account and change the password.
Second method: Send a PM to a member of the WBO Staff team asking to have your new and old accounts merged. Because you participated in "Over 9000" with your old account, the sushiroll1234 account would be the one merged, and your username would be sushiroll123 (Your old account's username).
