http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1616582-banned-in-the-other-forums-and-wikis/

It was fun while it lasted. Just prepare yourselves when we get people from other forums complaining here because TaeWong will spam that he was banned in the GBATemp forums.


Oh, let me introduce myself.

I come from the Minecraft forums. I noticed that Taewong guy was talking about these forums, so I decided to check it out, and a quick search revealed that he was here.

I'm not sure if I will be staying on these forums, I just created the account to make this thread. I might stay if I like the forums here, but I digress.

So as to not make this a pointless thread, does anyone here have any info on what the hell this Taewong...thing...is? He seems like some sort of bot, but oddly enough, his posts make a tiny bit of sense, compared to other bots...it's really weird.

Yeah, I saw the replies to the thread.

I wonder how long he'll last on the Minecraft Forums before he's banned. He's kinda funny.
I give it a week before you get tired of him, thats about how long it took most of us.

It helps that we have a sort of dump area that we confined him to.

Be glad he hasn't started spamming stuff about Bob's Game Font yet. Also it seems he can read captchas or something (at least, I think someone got him to read a few) which is odd for a bot.

I am not so sure what goes nowadays but there were cases of people redirecting captchas to download sites and such like- you stick something nice on the other side and point people at they, they dutifully fill it in to get at the porn/games/film/music.... and unknowingly help you further your spambot cause. I doubt it is what happened here but that is something that has been seen in the wild.

I once said you have to be a complete retard to get banned from a forum.

Christ knows what to call someone banned from a dozen forums. Super duper trooper retarded?

I'd just say he's TaeWrong and call it a day.

Still, he's providing us with free advertising, so... that's nice, I suppose.

Just to clear things up, he was some kinda clever Spambot that randomly joined our forums one day and we kept him in our testing area to see how smart he was.
After the charm wore off, he was banned.
Now it appears he has moved on your site and is up to the same shit, but this time getting us involved.

Taewong.. I remember when he was on IRC. Really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really annoying. I'm still not sure if it's a spambot or just a retard.

It's obviously a spambot someone set up. Current at necta we have some retarded german spambot keeping on registering on different ips, nicknames and email hosts. It's easy to know it's him because once he starts posting in the oneliner not much of what he types makes sense. But it does recognize other's responses, and replies accordingly. Ofcourse with a completely retarded response :)
