They are pretty obvious to spot. Just ignore and read the real threads. They eventually get deleted.
This shit has been happening in forums for who knows how long and probably always will since they adapt to security changes.

I have no idea. I thought it was questionable as well.

The problem is that they're getting harder to spot for people and the frequency has increased dramatically.

I disagree with the "don't report" idea. as I believe once one bot is on the site, they can somehow "invite" others. the faster they are removed the less the problem will be. so just ignoring them is the wrong move.
I noticed this on another site I mod for. we had a system in place to track IP's, and often times the member/bots would share IP's.

haha. some scumbag gave me negative rep for the post. leaving "douche" as the comment.
I wonder if it was the same mod that told people to stop reporting them? I bet they are pretty happy that they can leave anonymous rep.

i happened to find the post.
Quote:
yes, it's true, much spam lately. but you know what's more annoying than a random piece of spam? 100 emails a day of people reporting spam!!
do us a favor, if you see spam, and it's not brand new, consider that someone may have already reported it. please for the sake of my inbox, please.
|
and then another mod replying, and backing up the first one.
Quote:
If it's over an hour or so old, someone has probably reported it so you don't have to. Jesse's right... if 14 people report the same post, we get 14 emails to wade through.
Thanks guys. Hopefully admin will figure out where the hole is and fix it.
|
if you want to read it with all the context. the very last post is telling...
Why all the spam?

Got tired of all the spam/bots, so took a bit of a break from the forum. Is it still an issue or does it seem like it's been handled?

No, it looks like they've been pretty effective at killing this sub-forum.

I have moved on to the Tacoma forums. This place is like a ghost town.
