What happened?

Due to the recent developments, I have decided to make this community moderator-only. There has been a mass spam attack involving gore and nudity. This is now a very serious situation and it is clear that something has to be done to stop this from happening. The new messages might be from a different, psychopathic spammer.

What we decided to do about it

To have better control of this situation, we decided to lock down the community, except for the comment section on this very post. (Please let me know if I've missed a post)

Rules

Please refrain to further spread the newest spam image, especially uncensored versions of it.
The "It's my girlfriend!"-joke is long gone. Be respectful, stop using it.

Going forward

Our main goal now is to stop the spread of spam on Lemmy. This seems like a major problem in Lemmy's concept, so we need to work together to create a working solution to the spam and potential defacing of users.

Update: The source of the gore images has been identified, so it's safe to say it's not actually the same person as "Nicole". Still fucked up, though.
