Here are two screen shots, preserved for posterity. The actual site may have changed by the time you see this, and as Microsoft staff return to work after a public holiday in some Australian states this Monday.

As you can see, some submissions have junk descriptions and titles. Others have brief Turkish phrases, while others still are proudly proclaiming Ov3rlord's presence.

Please also scroll down past the images to discuss this story with other iTWire readers.

UPDATE: Microsoft have phoned in their side of the story. Please see the follow-up piece here.
