You have a particular set of skills that make you a nightmare for people like spambots. You will find it and ban it. memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=77604 Or don't go full Liam Neeson and just ban it. Or dropkick it then ban it? FUS RO BAN it? Either way, spambot alert has been done.

There has been a rash of bot copypasta this week across the boards.

More bots or whatever, copying old posts:

viewtopic.php?f=38&t=40887

viewtopic.php?f=44&t=40886

Also off-topic spam:

viewtopic.php?f=38&t=40885

viewtopic.php?f=40&t=40884

I suspect usernames Charle and Jassim, embedded links. Will apologize profusely if I'm wrong.

I haven't looked at the links yet, but there are telltale signs that become noticeable after you've spotted a lot of these bots or whatever they are. One is that the user name is usually a legitimate-looking first name and last name stuck together without a space between them. Real users generally don't create user names like that; they might, but gamers usually don't. Another is that there's one bot or spammer or hacker or faux user who copies the text from an old post but adds a line or salutation to it with two or more commas at the end, such as "Hello there,,".

Edit: And, yes, those two fit the second telltale warning indicator.

I also suspect the four recent new users with names like *Jordan and *Jose (where * is replaced by a first name). Not only do these names fit the FirstLast user name warning sign, but it's curious that the accounts were created in pairs at about the same time, with each pair having the same "Last" name, and also that the two "Last" names, Jordan and Jose, follow in alphabetical order, suggesting they came from a list.

SantiagoJordan - Fri Feb 07, 2020 10:46 am
EvanJordan - Fri Feb 07, 2020 10:51 am

EzekielJose - Sat Feb 08, 2020 8:34 am

Staff are aware of this and are still pending for a more permanent solution, since we were able uncover alot of shared traits amongst a good number of accounts

I'll contact an admin again, but till then I'm just gonna patch things up till more show up
