Welcome to /c/SoftwareGore!


This is a community where you can poke fun at nasty software. This community is your go-to destination to look at the most cringe-worthy and facepalm-inducing moments of software gone wrong. Whether it's a user interface that defies all logic, a crash that leaves you in disbelief, silly bugs or glitches that make you go crazy, or an error message that feels like it was written by an unpaid intern, this is the place to see them all!

Remember to read the rules before you make a post or comment!

What's the purpose of this message? Why would anyone spam this?

I'm also wondering this. Maybe they're targeting gullible HR personnel with some social engineering if they reply. Or some phishing if someone clicks the "read the online version" link

Yeah, why would you need to automate a "time off for wedding" template? How often is this coming up? Also usually people take time off by right, so this is a "time off for wedding and also I don't have enough PTO" template.

The amount of butt kissing in this message is much more disturbing to me than the spam character or the gore.

Isn’t this just a boilerplate request off for wedding email? May even be LLM generated. But I’m not seeing spam, nor software gore here.

spam because it has been sent to all the addresses of my company, software gore because badly programmed/misconfigured spambot
