Spammers Ho

[IanDanKilmaster]

I don't know why users still spam here, it will probably stop now that the password requirement for the H-section has been lifted (it was only there by accident to begin with anyway).

The spam we're talking about is that oh-so-universal automated advertising/scam spam.  The forum is experiencing a resurgence in legitimate spambots, and I don't know if they'll ever leave.  It might help if there was a stronger captcha (it's been so long since I've registered, I don't even remember if there is a captcha).  It happens with nigh every service online, so there's nothing particularly interesting about it.

Anyhow, thanks to Bella-chan for beating me to this last night, and thanks to Aurora-sempai for being so prompt in dealing with it.

and i don't believe there was a captcha to join :\

still. you'd think they try to spam somewhere, idk, bigger.

Doesn't matter, free advertising is free advertising.  They spam here just like they try spam your inbox, your little blog, or that random blog you sometimes find during a google search.

What goes good with a new post in the spammer thread?

MOAR SPAM!

spambot.

Also, what's with this guy's sig?  I don't think he's a bot, but that's definitely a spammy sig.

After much consideration (and forgetting), deleted the post. ^.^;

Also removed the signature of a new member for being spam.

This guy seems to have a spamtastic signature:

Hey, this guy seems to be spamming for his H-site (yeesh) and posted hentai in a non-hentai user gallery: http://ostan-collections.net/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=4022

Could you remove those H pictures he posted in the normal user gallery-- or at least move them into the appropriate hentai gallery? We don't want people to get the wrong impression of our site by clicking on here and having a H-picture of XP-tan be the first thing they see. >.>

At least that H-site was more relevant than most other H-spam.

This user has what looks like a spammy sig:

Indeed... at least something that can be considered positive came out of this, depending on how you feel about more H for our gallery .  I did notice there were items in his "blog" that were already in our gallery, but I'm pretty sure some of them aren't.

As for the spammy sig poster... it's a spambot.  I'm certain of that now, as you see poster A (that I identified earlier in this thread) has similar posts and the same sig as poster B.  So basically we're looking at a more "sophisticated" spambot is all.  Basically they're just making stock posts based on thread titles.  Unfortunately for spambot B, most posters here are poor at titling their threads (j/k fellas).  Fooled 'em... B&.

bot spotted!!

his sig is advertising, his posts are copied phrases from the thread (including my sig >:\ ), and he lacks an avatar (which can be a sign).
