Don’t mean to make a big deal about this since I myself have become mostly a lurker here, but is anyone else wondering what the deal is with the user spamming the squadbuilder? Just endless empty squads, each titled after a game piece, 1000 points, no characters picked.
Found the user in question in the user records in the forum and there are three other similarly-named accounts that were all created within a month or so of each other. User profiles are nonsense, just listing random scraps of information about SWMinis characters. Seems like a bot, so I’m afraid to interact with it (or even mention the username) lest I stir up even more nonsense.
I know there are the occasional waves of forum bots that roll through, but attempting to use the squadbuilder is interesting…

I've reached out to the user and got no response. They have a similar presence on other sites. I think we can say with certainly it's a bot. Mods here can only block users from forum posting and can't block accounts. I asked shinja to block the user by IP as they've effectively ruined the Recent Squad Feature, but alas, no reply.

I wondered at first if that was why I wasn't seeing characters in the squad builder the other day before I figured out I just had a filter turned on incorrectly.

I figured it was someone trying to 1 bomb every v-set piece.
Except they don't know how to do it and they're rating squads using a vset piece a 1 instead.
I do admire their dedication.
