New SPAMMING forum members!

Post by Jules »

It's great that user registration is open again, but I'm sure some of you have noticed phony members creating spam threads in Off-Topic.

I've seen this happen to other forums and it ruins them. Let's nip it in the bud before it ruins the reborn UD forums!

owensamuels is fake. Ban him/her/it now. (I expect they are a bot and not a real person.) There are more, please watch out.

greatoralhealth is another one!

Weird, their only post in How's Everyone Doing feels weirdly on point with the rest of thread, even if it makes no sense.

Are these real people, bots or AI? :brick:

I have been using the "!" button to report them as spam to Sotiris.

*edit* johnrobert is another spammer, in the B&tB thread. What the heck.

Silly me ... I never thought there might be an actual button to take care of such things. Thanks for pointing that out, Amy. :)

At this rate, I think we'd better rally the *real* forum members to recruit in the SPAM-HUNTERS ® initiative. :P
