20 Reports the other night, one spambot made 100 god damn posts....

Willie and Slinky have decided to take an alternate route, to hunt down and kill those who create them....

I'm definitely getting really tired of them too. There has to be something we can do to try and quell the flood. I do like their idea though. :lol:

I feel like I have hit the report button 100 times in the last week or 2. Its pretty obnoxious.

There are 2 kinds of people in this world. Those who think they can and those who think they can't. both of them are right.

Worst thing is for the longest time the captcha(sp?) would get them, sooner or later it'd get cracked but now they have humans answering it and registering the damn bots. Oh well, may just have to nuke a large region in the former Soviet Union lol.

God, they are so annoying, I hate that the only thing I can do is hit the report button.

Well I noticed that they always start posting at 12 am MT, maybe make sure you have a mod on at that time or disallow account making around that time?

pro tip for all non staff members... just flag them as a spammer... go to their profile, underneath the profiel picture is a menu list... the first optin in siad list is "flag user as spammer".... by clicking this it prevents said user from creating any more posts and it unapproves all posts made by said user... then, simply report the posts and we will move them to the 9th ring of hell....
