Help WARNING: THEY'RE BACK
#1
The spam e-mails have returned, all admins currently on board, if you can assist the forum... Please do.

EDIT: The spam e-mails can be traced back to
@Aseris2003, who seems to be opperating one bot... or something? I'm not sure how this works.

Another thing to note is that the other bot is traced back to a banned user, @Astr021


The two botted accounts seem to be @babaji0123 and @guruji001 respectively.

It's been an ongoing thing, we've removed at least twenty different spam accounts over the last day or so. We're working on better ways to counter them, but for now just know we're keeping an eye on the situation and will be removing the accounts when they surface.

I'm doing whatever I can, which is mainly reporting those Users who clearly are Spambots.
@CodySP, I already expressed that I'm willing to help out more than this. Don't be shy to call when the need arises.

I also take every opportunity to report those blasted spammbots to you @CodySP and the rest of the moderator team. I wish I could actually do SOMETHING about this recent epidemic of bots, instead of sit back and watch them flood our forums...

Reporting things helps the Forum Team greatly, Windos, according what Cody told me. So we're helpful a little, yay!

Interesting - Aseris used to be a real user.

Wait, does that mean that their account was hijacked? Oh boy... Its either that possibility, or that user was a sleeper agent before deciding to unleash the spam. If its the later possibility, just...why? Their are better and less obtuse ways of advertising stuff, and their is a subforum just for that sort of thing (Everything Goes, I believe).

Online advertisment has never been known to be subtle though.

This whole issue became just plain weird. A real user once, then a sudden ton of SpamBots... Seemingly connected on top of that.

Memes, what makes you say the spam is traced back to this user?
