Gerard Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 The bots we're on about are ones set up by hackers to post spam and usually links to sites. In some ways they are worse than hackers because they can work much faster and work 24/7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I think I remeber one of them. They posted topics that linked to gambling sites in each section Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerard Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 That's them, and a perfect example of a good use for the report button. You read that post, realise its spam, click report, type "i think this is a bot" and click OK. A mod reads it, deals with it, and everybody's happy.

Ciaran Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Yes i already seen 2 posting about chemists? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaz The Great Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Also, slightly related, DO NOT RESPOND TO THE BOT'S TOPICS.... It bumps the topics to the top, giving it more views, and they can't read your responses anyways. Report it, and leave the topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slayer Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Uhm, a little note to te staff. Do not forget about the button either, since this is turning into a spam fest. Or you can lock this topic. There is a third option aswell, and that's to stop spamming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitsune Inferno Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 What about that bot that posted poker tips in the VCS section. People think forums users don't have lives? Take a look at the people who make bots to advertise stuff forum users don't want. Like edited porn. I like my porn uncut and uncensored, thank you!
