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.

I honestly believe he made a custom automatic spammer tool with decent programming skills I bet the guy is not even at his computer

True but look how fast it goes and how fast he gets another account maybe one specifically for gbatemp? Maybe he has a random number generator plus certain phrases and a buncha if statements in case of something

Maybe he isn't good it making at fast? I mean. Who would go through all this trouble?

Maybe he made many accounts before the "Attack"

no, just manually with throwaway emails. if it was a program it'd be going a hell of a lot quicker. it's possible its automated to a degree to make it easier. doesn't really matter anyway. its easy to delete this crap for the mods. whoever's doing it is just wasting his own time.

there also doesn't seem to be any pattern to it. if it was a program it'd return around the same time after every ban. but it doesn't. that's why i think its manually done. or at least mostly manually.

Could we please not turn this topic into some "post-whatever-we-want"-topic? If you have something to say that is on topic, feel free to post - else, please don't.

Im shifting over to your side because I realized he just copy pastes most likely so true

Admins should consider limiting the privilege of newer members somehow. Maybe only allowed to make one topic a day until they become full time members.
