Bonkle Posted February 21, 2024 Posted February 21, 2024 It's a sudden appearance of a few spambots. "Tightening the rules" isn't going to stop spambots from signing up and ignoring the rules they can't read. It happens on every forum on the internet from time to time. 2 Quote I been away a long time.
confused piraka Posted February 21, 2024 Author Posted February 21, 2024 (edited) I come back to this topic with anime surprise. bth spammers have been banned. it's great to see how active the mods are (it's also great to see how active mushy is) Edited February 22, 2024 by confused piraka 1 Quote
NateMakesMOCs Posted February 22, 2024 Posted February 22, 2024 Like Nato said, just keep reporting the posts. It will stop eventually when a number of the bot accounts are banned, but the best thing to do is to not engage and report the posts. Remember, topics can be set up to send email notifications to the account owner whenever someone replies to a topic, so if you engage in replying to the spam topics, you could be creating false "interaction" counts that the bot presumes is people wanting to buy/learn more about the product. This in turn might be encouraging the creation of more spam topics/accounts since the bot program thinks engagement is happening. Don't reply to these topics, just report them and move on. As others mentioned, it'll clear itself up in a few days probably. 4 1 Quote
