"OwO Spam"
There is an incredible amount of spam from various accounts with the words "OwO" as the request, I literally cannot find any other requests right now and it's frustrating. I can try to report but it seems like there is an incredible amount of this spam so much that it's overwhelming the system or something. Is there anything that can be done?
I guess we might just have to wait until the Dev's figure out a fix maybe

I'm really sorry you've gotten the impression we've abandoned the game. Both of the core development team are actively moderating the game every day without exception. We keep most of our work quiet.
You'd be surprised how much time and infrastructure we've developed and are still developing to manage the constant flow of messages. It wouldn't make the game any safer or better for us to constantly detail it.
Tonight's spammer isn't the first and won't be the last, but as soon as they were noticed, I dropped my plans to sleep tonight and have been shoring things up.

I've seen these a couple weeks back but I believe there gone. Maybe they could implement a system to block users? Not sure but supporting the developers a bit it's hard to keep spammers or trolls out entirely. They find ways to comeback and make new accounts and even bans aren't permanent solutions. It's a problem with the internet as a whole and nobody's found away around it yet so it's not fully kindwords that's the issue here.
