    Hi all!

    I wanted to know if any of you have been having a similar experience as me.

    Over the last 2 weeks I've been getting email notifications that someone has sent me a message on CHYOA. I can see the title of the message, "Hey Sweetie" in the email heading but when I navigate to CHYOA through the link an error occurs and I cannot view the message. However the notification stays.

    It always seems to come from the same person, with a slight variation on the name (Emma_Sweet, EmmaSweet, etc)

    I was curious if anyone else has seen anything similar on this site? I'm fairly new (started about 6 months ago) so I'm not sure if this is the norm or if something is off

    Those are just spam bots. They send messages asking you to click bad links. If you open the message and it doesn't show anything that means they've been deleted by one of the admins already. In my experience on this site it isn't normally common, but I've had a few message me recently as well.
