Official Report Thread

I've been flagging the posts they've been making as from "spam bots" with the report button. Is that less effective these days than listing out the names here?

On the contrary, flagging posts with the report button is more effective actually since the report queue is the first thing I see when I log into the site. Appreciate how quickly you guys often pick up on them.

It's been like that for years, I think I made a thread about it once.

Most of those are probably just spiders crawling the site for SEO or maybe data to feed into LLMs.

Hah, well, goes to show how much I pay attention. Guess the bot thing was on my mind and suddenly I tuned back in

@SarahPalin is spamming like crazy in the video game section.

That's a sentence I never thought I'd hear.

She's up to 40 posts now, dunno if that's a record, but a lot more than a single spammer would do in the old days.

I've seen one bot which managed 125 posts. It's definitely a new breed of them.
