Although the moderators tend to have a quicker way to reach the staff of GameSpot, we do not deal with technical issues. I believe this thread would be better suited for Bug Reporting & Feedback.

As such, I will move this thread there.

I am amused by how Sucuri says that a site has been "hacked" or "infected" by default, regardless of the results. XD

A click tracking page and what appears to be an old or no-longer-live 404 test page that a normal user will never land on? I highly doubt it's a hacking issue to say the least, especially seen as the 'issue' is just a html 500 internal server error for those pages. The nginx apparently being outdated is perhaps the only meaningful thing on there, but I suspect there's a reason for that and the devs are well aware of it already. There's an high likelihood that the html 500s reported are/were temporary and a result of work on the site too.

Also, those 404 error things are bugging us, as new posts are created mostly by spambots and these errors prevent us from reporting spam! It's been going on for days now! When will they be fixed?

That appears to be fixed now and several of us have been cleaning up the spam threads that have been stuck in the various forums in said 404 state recently.
