Reporting Spam

[Wolfglide of the Fraternity]

I think it's a new kind of thinking bot, that posts RL stuff on RL boards and then unsubtly finishes with spam links (or insert them in their message).

A new one in the role playing board.

A new one in the main forum, and another in the Gothic Earth board.

[Joël of the FoS]

Thanks, dealt with!

This one in the fan fiction board just copied another entry that was already there.

Found another one:
http://www.fraternityofshadows.com/foru ... =1&t=10949
The text color makes the letters almost invisible, but the link underline is still plainly visible.

[Joël of the FoS]

Thanks!

We have another one just copying things from elsewhere on the board, in two places:
http://www.fraternityofshadows.com/foru ... 87#p248287
http://www.fraternityofshadows.com/foru ... =1&t=10987
This robotic user (JohnnyBurns) has been active since early in the month. I believe this one was caught already, and cleansed of links: http://www.fraternityofshadows.com/foru ... hp?t=10966

A lot of these new bots are using this same FirstnameLastname convention.

Killed!

We appear to have a spambot on site under the name of Supamu

I see it. Just give me a few minutes, and I'll get rid of this joker.

I do not know why, but everytime I kill Supamu, it is back? Ron, any idea?

I think Ron said he would be on vacation around this time.

I emailed Rock, in case he can get into his account and change the password to stop the bot from using it.

Wait, Rock’s account is compromised? I thought that him joining the spam bot was all a carefully coordinated April Fool’s joke by Rock, with even Tomokaicho joining in. It’s actually not?

Just made waffles with mom!
Try this simple walffe press.

My account has been compromised to Supamu, but I think it's not a Spambot. I think an honest-to-God Nigerian prince is actually trying to spread the word.
