yea idk whats up
it appears that nearly all are gibberish for me, especially after latest update, i don't think these are bots either
They seem to be grouped up with other actual legible messages, atleast in my experience. Noticed this alot on gm_bigcity_improved.
It's annoying.I like to see creative people who hide their echos but when You see they have to something to say. But freedom always end up like that. We don't want freedom admit it.
And those was here dudes. Like if you have was here Echo once is cool but you have 5 of them in spawnpoint nobody cares about that nobody interested you are just annoying kid.

I want to have ability to block person's Echos instead of bad word filter. Like I see Echo I don't like I block this echo makes I don't see any other Echos made by this person.
I did some looking around myself and noticed that these echos may potentially be destroying actual echos, no clue until the dev responds

Yeah, gotta agree

A few echoes I read yesterday have been replaced. They seemingly get rid of it when too many are spawned in the same area, forcing the existing one to vanish

There are option to "Hide Read Echoes". Just turn off option and you will see them again.

Even they won't destroy think about it theres one echo they imidiatly find that send 100 giberish Echo if anyone want to find and read real one they just give up from start.

somehow a part of giberish got deleted recently, i checked on bermuda hotel and mostly normal echoes left here
It also spread to the map list somehow (ex. gm_fanning_tow-path), which might just be as annoying oml

The gibberish echos follow a sort of pattern. 1. larger maps seem to have less of them, this means someone is doing this on purpose, so larger maps means they have to look harder to find echos to put spam near.
2. whomever is doing this has some odd system to it as they form geometric shapes around the original text, not tending to overlap themselves but will overlap player messages, most common shape makes a triangle of some form. But they will break the game rules to form these triangles, like placing echos under the map and such.

If anyone else finds any info feel free to post it, this is cool in it's own right.
