Mods HELP!

[Anonjohn20]

Mods, we are getting invaded by tons of bots right now! They are so obvious that some even have the same name. Help! @Tony @Zinless @Ispheria @Enkiari @Aster

Mikan and Cardcaptor seem to be the only two real accounts.

Yeah, I know Mikan. I've worked with her a year ago.

Oi, @Mikan_Citrus you there?

That's what they want you to think. I'm onto you clankers

 

[Gray_Mann]

I love how all of them are from India......and then there's that one person from Michigan

 

[Zinless]

All of them haven't been active since last year but it is clear they are bots for gambling sites and the like, so I have banned them all just in case. If there's anyone I missed, let me know.

And no, I will not ban Mikan or Cardcaptor.

Thank you. BTW, one survived.

Sadly the only person who can do anything to get rid of them is Tony. It's a Neo vs Smith at the end of Revolution.

And don't forget, Neo lost…

 

[Nevafrost]

"From india" figures. I heard they have offices where they sit down together to scam people.

I hate scammers. They mostly target elder citizens and it's disgusting. And now this. I LOVED Prince of Persia as a child. All scammers may go to fcking hell.

Some of these bots are probably created for fake reviews and ratings. I think it's mostly people posting stolen/AI stories trying to profit somehow.

I'm seeing a ton of obviously bot comments on my stories, the whole "hey I love it, I'm so inspired, would love to draw - here's my discord/IG" thing. I've never seen so many comments as I have in the last two or so weeks. Frustrating when I get excited to see a comment and then see that instead. I've been reporting them, but no idea if it helps.

Same here! I’ve gotten a few just this morning!

Weeeell, technically, Neo won by dying for everyone's sins. Neo really had a Jesus complex.

Even technically, Neo lost, and the machines did the job

They didn't; humanity survived by the end of the third movie, and if you watched the awful fourth movie. The peace treaty outside the Matrix is still ongoing; the machines were no longer hunting down those who didn't fit into the Matrix.

Um… They survived because Neo lost to Smith, got assimilated, and because he was connected to the main servers, they managed to wipe Smith off the platform, restoring the Matrix to a previous save.

The machines wiped out Smith, and what I wrote is still correct. So... um yeah.

ever give any thought to simply range banning the country code for india?
we had a meme tagline on another site... "and nothing was lost"
some years back, my own site had a problem but back then it was a constant Ukranian thing.
we range banned the country, and *poof*, problem solved. no more drudge work popping scammers every day and night.

PS - the one artist scammer, was kind and left me a five star rating. any way we could post a etiquette sticky?
"NOTE: it is site etiquette, that all artist scammers, should leave five star ratings. Thank you."
*then* ban them
I mean, I just like seeing the 5 stars, even though I know its meaningless.
