Multiple empty duplicate boards created in my Trello account

Kurt Painter

My Trello account has recently seen NINE duplicate boards created that are the same name as another active board. These are completely blank and the option to archive/delete the boards is not available. Now I'm not immediately assuming this is a convenient "bug" that forces users to move to a paid plan, but it certainly wouldn't surprise me with Atlassian's takeover. Screenshot attached.

Atlassian, with their Trello product, are operating a fraudulent scheme to force users into a paid plan. This issue proves it.

How's it going, Kurt?

What you're showing might be due to an issue with some kind of automation running in the background of your Trello setup. Do you have any internal or external automations active?

If so, that's probably why you can't delete them, as you wouldn't be the admin of those boards—the bot that created them would be.

If you give me a bit more context, I'd be happy to lend a hand ;)

There are no automations. Zero. 

These are duplicates of another board that were created randomly, not by me. 

It's very suspicious that it happened just as the paid subscription push began.
