Hello! I was going onto a forum that I am apart of (under the .discourse.group hosting), and I saw that I was pinged 8 times. I looked through all of the pings, and all of them led to the same message. I asked the person who supposedly pinged me 8 times, and they confirmed they only pinged me once, and that they noticed that bug too. Is this issue of the random fake spam pings fixable somehow or now?

This is what I saw in the spam pings bug.
