DO NOT BUMP SPAM

[p1ngpong]

As many regular visitors of the site know we are forever waging a war against spam bots here. We are generally quick to exterminate them and their threads thanks to quick reporting by our members and vigilance by the moderating team and I would like to thank everyone who takes the time to bring spambots to our attention.

However tonight something happened that genuinely made me both angry and disappointed at the same time and also made me question the common sense of some of our most prolific and well known members.

A porn spambot made a thread on the forum with graphic images and links in its opening post. People proceeded to post in this thread not once or twice, but nine times.

So this thread was bumped to the top of the latest discussion tab and given more views nine times with idiotic posts ranging from the usual "reported" to people just thinking they are funny.

Let me make it clear:

DO NOT BUMP OBVIOUS SPAM UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, ESPECIALLY IF IT IS PORNOGRAPHIC!

Just report it!

Thanks.

I am going to take a few hours out to calm down before I take any action if any on the people who bumped that last thread, my immediate reaction being to suspend you all for your stupidity.

Well at least these spambots aren't as bad as they used to be.

You wonder why they even bother since they can't post links.
(I would assume they make commision for trying, maybe)

First of all one of them I didn't know what it said and I reported the one I did reply to

You're not supposed to reply to them at all

Maybe they are just paid to spam any site that doesn't regulate posts? A lot of sites I've been joining lately require either the first or first 10 posts to be approved by a staff member (or like a VIP member or something,) so they aren't very easy to spam.
It also looks like they are providing just enough information that a link simply isn't necessary. I could easily google the site they are spamming and I think that's what they are hoping for.

Aren't those machines a little too expensive for spammers

That’s... not even the point at all. The point is there are always methods of breaking in and bypassing stuff.

A human most likely sets up the account, then the bot does its thing

How many comments does it take to solidify the idea of "don't post on weird spammy looking links"?
