NOTE: GAW is now in its first *ever* CONDITION RED. The past 24 hours have seen unprecedented levels of shill & bot activity here on the .WINs (and especially directed @ GAW). This screenshot represents only a small sample of the nearly a thousand bot user accounts banned by C5 today. *STAY FROSTY!*

☢️CONDITION RED☢️
Why is this stickied?
In an effort to keep everyone informed, I grabbed a Chrome extension that could help automate making screenshots and ran it through literally hundreds of pages of the modlogs, focusing on my own u/catsfive activity. The past 24h have easily been the worst onslaught of automated account creation activity ever witnessed since GAW's inception. The ban hammer is literally FLUORESCENT WHITE HOT right now, and it's only thanks to some of the extremely advanced and very tricky tools created by some of the most l33t coders on your mod team (seriously, no other .WIN has the capabilities we have, functions totally not built into the mod toolkit) are we able to stay on top of this onslaught.
SO FAR, THESE BOTS AND SHILLS ARE NOT GETTING PAST OUR FILTERS AND HANDSHAKE KARMA REQUIREMENTS, CAUSING MUCH SPERGE AND SQUEAKING SOUNDS AS THEY ARE MERCILESSLY CRUSHED, but, y'all should see what the threads look like to the mods (all comments up for approval, deleted comments, mass hysteria). It's a bloodbath. So much red.
As so many of you have discovered, the mod team is on HIGH ALERT, and, unfortunately, we might get short or act twitchy from time to time. Never in this .WIN's history has the mod team ever been more busy than this.
The mod team thanks everyone for being so patient with us as we work through this onslaught. We ask everyone again to use the DEPORT instead of engaging shills, bots, and tards. We thank each of y'all in advance for your patience with your mod team, too, as we are indeed getting lots of things right, but the usual mistakes will invariably happen.
Remember, WE ARE WINNING SO FUCKING HARD, IT'S LITERALLY SILLY. CRAZY. JUST UNREAL.
LET'S GOOOOOoooOOOOOO!!!!!
Badge of honor.
You should see 8kun and what Jim has to put up with.
Thank you, thank you, thank you and God bless you mods! Commendable, to say the least.
I've been perusing the logs these last few days and saw GA.W getting slammed, but not THIS bad. Wow. I just wonder who the hell is paying people to generate these attacks. Seems the WH have more evil coffers to empty.
Keep up the great work!
Sterling job, you Mods keep doing what you gotta do, we've got your back.
Don't forget to take a chill break occasionally though :)
I may ban myself for a couple days here.
That's one way of doing it :)
From here on out attacks will likely intensify. Expect more DDOS attacks against GA and the Wins in general. Possibly some real life trouble as well. That's usually what happens when they can't troll/spam and they can't infiltrate the mods. It's a big reason why they keep trying to knock KiwiFarms off the web.
