Report potential spambots here

[Josjie]

The spambots have returned. If you suspect someone of being a spambot, post it here, send one of the moderators a PM or make a report.

Spambot example:

Hello Everyone,
I am new to this forum.
I from IT field. I am using internet and forums from last 3 years.
I love to play chess and watch movies.
I want to thank administrator for giving us the space for sharing our knowledge.

Oh and I'm not a spambot . So accusing me will not get me banned.

Thanks to r for reminding me:
DON'T POST IN THEIR THREADS!!! - that will only encourage them to visit these forums more often.

[r]

And don't post in their threads, because then they'll think the forum's inactive and not bother posting anymore.

If it's a felony for a mere common user to post in an announcement, feel free to copy this info into your post then delete this one - it just needs to be mentioned!

Could they be back because of that one thread?

I don't think you're a mere common user

But no, everyone is free to post in this announcement, in fact, that's why I created it! Instead of making a report, you can also post your suspections here. And I just wanted to warn everyone for the spambot invasion . Just kidding.

Could they be back because of that one thread?

If all spambots are created by one person, yes. But I don't think that thread is the cause of all this. Maybe we need a forum update for better protection against spambots.

Wow, that was a damn good spambot. Had me fooled. Legit username, solid grammar, even filled in "ES Games:" slot correctly.

wats a spambot ?

Losers who think posting gibberish on forums and making people post in their threads makes them "cool"
the last "invasion" happened quite a while ago.

I don't think you're a mere common user

So there are "mere common users" on this forum?
(you know i just noticed i have gone some 150 posts without using smilies)

Yes, and you're one of them.

[The Tom]

I could be a spambot. A spambot with 200 posts and an unusually dry sense of humour but a spambot nonetheless.

I don't think I've been here long enough to remember this invasion from before. I saw one on another forum I visit. The Tamiflu it advertised was more than tempting.

OK..that didn't come out right
The last invasion,there was a thread to report them.like this one.as i recall,teinava was the one who reported the most.

[Valus]

I know of a forum that is completely overrun with spam. I mean, first of all the place is a ghost town and every single forum there's spam in it. It's terrible.

[nyk45]

Y'know, I think Josjie had other things in mind when he posted this thread. Create a discussion thread for spambots, peepz!

/stupidbackseatmodding

[Jpot]

Care to share which one?
(or is that against the rules?)

[Imperfect]

You know, I have actually noticed lately, alot of usernames consisting of Bot in their name... Maybe one should report those?

And, if anyone wants to know why I am posting alot, because I finally have more than just Morrowind, so I am trying to be more involved. And I have no life

You mean usernames like:
Yahoo [Bot]
Google [Bot]
MSN [Bot]

Those are search engines, not spam bots .

[Imperfect]

ah yes. Those would be the ones.

Isn't that pretty much everyone on the forums ?

so what exactly IS a spambot?

[videogmer314]

so what exactly IS a spambot?

A user that's controlled by a computer program and just posts ads of random stuff, from pirated games to "free" drugs.
