    Under Recent Activity, I've noticed a lot of locations being set by many users. That seems odd, to say the least.

    Is this the work of spammers, random bots or something else? Example below...

    Spammers. Look in the information tab of the user's profile.

    Thanks for reporting those. I've been trying to remove them as I see those bogus locations pop up. I also added some new anti-spammer software today to help with the strange onslaught of spam that we've been getting lately.

    Hopefully it will help.
