I wonder if the mods have a way of telling who has made the most reports. I think I'd have a shot at top place tbh

idk about that

I found one as well, taking up the General Brandon Discussion, how rude.

Yup. Because there is nothing suspicious in advertising a weird page, unrelated to Brandon. Just report those.

 

Recently I had a weird dream. Chaos made me a mod so I can ban bots when no other mods are present. It felt sooooo gooooood.

Huh. Pretty wild dream.

That's not sus at all...

Anyone else wonder why you can report your own posts?

Just in case the bot decides to forfeit 

[Through the Living Elan He/Him]

Would that mean that they’re bot/spam hunters then?

Hello!

I remember a time Lunamor was known as the spambot hunter. I report them when I see them - I like to leave a post on their feed to mark that I've reported it - so that no one'll bother reporting again. It's not really that important, but it's a way.

I took out like five this morning.

Their everywhere! scramble defenses!

Archers... Volley!

*I'm weird.*

[Through the Living Elan He/Him]

Just got three of them.

It’s so satisfying.

[Scars of Hathsin he/him]

There are so much recently, it is starting to grate on me... I have reported so much

Double post sorry, But this past hour, I swear I have reported at least 10 people, and I think it is the same person doing it over and over, as they keep mentioning Dr Faith

Why are there so many? I will go onto the unread page, and there seems to always be one spamming?

Not really, unfortunately. Even if there were a way to pull the data, we have a general policy of deleting spambot reports once they've been handled. This keeps the report screen from being cluttered so we can focus in on real member issues that might need to be resolved.

And a general PSA for everyone:

You only need to report one post per spambot. Our special sparkly nuke button bans the account and deletes all of their content in one fell swoop (and we are very, very careful about how we use it, because the content deletion is irreversible).

One report to nuke them all, and in the darkness smite them!

I’m actually getting interested in this black-magic. Do you think it works?

As a member of the grammar police I feel obligated to pop in and remind you that, when making something plural, an apostrophe is not needed.

As such, this thread should be titled "Bot/Spam Hunters" with the apostrophe left out <3

Yeah that's a Grammer error. But bots have worse Grammer. "Rahdjks' or "CaLl ThIS nuMBer"

[DramaQueen she/he/neopronouns]

I didn't say they didn't.

Also, *grammar, not Grammer.

[Ookla de los Cuervos he/him]

ive reported 2 today.

[Aeoryi she/her]

Almanac bot????

Why is it C+P-ing the Wikipedia page for that?

[Ookla de los Cuervos he/him]

i love you can just TELL when its a spammer or bot.

[Ookla de los Cuervos he/him]

THESE BOTS JUST WONT CHILL

[Scars of Hathsin he/him]

There you go @DramaQueen

[Ookla de los Cuervos he/him]

i wish you could report accounts directly.
