Spam bots much?

[kingkilburn]

As the title says, we seem to have a spam bot problem lately. What gives? :/

[omgRWDgoodness!]

The most annoying one to date has to have been that recent one going around and -bump-ing all the threads.

[blksylv]

looks like we may have 2 more now

[atom]

I will LOL if one of the spambots bumps this thread.

[deolio]

so annoying

[Yellow4g63]

Got another one at this time. In the main Chat bumping away.

[Sumslapper]

So whats the point of these spambots bumping threads? Is someone benefiting from this? Looks like Zilvia is going to have to make captchas when activating accounts.

[KiLLeR2001]

Close registrations. We are under attack!!!!!

Possible retaliation from ban? Usually they have links or something if trying to benefit...

Yeah this is exactly what I thought when I started seeing this bullshit... Possibly that whole business with "stop zilvia 2012" and all the bullshit that happened in the "not keep drifting fun" thread?? I dunno whatever it is its retarded

[KiLLeR2001]

Yeah, probably used their donation money to hire some spambots LOL.

[kingkilburn]

I thought the same thing. I hope it's true and traceable. That would be a fun lawsuit to watch.

[harrypotter]

Seems some of them are smart. There are a few suspect posts where they actually know the topic of the thread they are posting in.

[Yellow4g63]

LOL wow too funny

[enkei2k]

At least the good thing is, they don't have access to the marketplace to give sellers free bumps...*knock on wood.

[SimpleS14]

I had a similar problem on my forum awhile ago. After doing some research I found out the accounts were based in India. It appears some people make a living from spamming links and getting clicks. Even if it's pennies...it all adds up.

lollololololololllloloolol! This is the first time I've seen spam on a forum that showed a sign of effort.

[KiLLeR2001]

When all the mods go to sleep at night that's when they register and start attacking the forums. I'm reporting 2 or 3 every night and there's not a moderator in sight...

[kingkilburn]

Sounds like they need some night security.

<<<night owl ;)

[revat619]

There's another one on the loose right now...

This shit is out of control. Add a captcha or close registration until its fixed and be done with it already. It's fucking annoying....

[lucky7]

I've reported a handful of 'em in the last month or so. I get up at 6am EST, so most of you fuckers are sleeping still. :keke:
