Spambots

Check the birthday list for today...****load of spam bots

[Odin1199]

I see only 3 members.

Holy shit. Odin, get into 16 June and you'll see what he's talking about. Well... this should be fun.

*Four* legitimate users. WTF



Figured I'd put this here for posterity since there are about to be a ****ton of deleted users.

^ Different timezones. I took a screencap of it in the spam thread that only captured like 3/4 of them. It could be a massive amount of multiple accounts, or they all just picked the same, random date of birth.

Argh that was aimed at Odin, I was too slow.

Happy birthday everyone!

[LocoColt04]

Yeah. Anything with 0 posts is getting nuked.

[Lacquer Head]

they have ads in their bios and stuff >.>

[LocoColt04]

If anyone else on the staff with access would like to help, please do so. Just open the user's profile, click the edit icon next to their username, and then select "Delete User" from the dropbox in the admin panel. Much faster than searching each user individually. I've been at this for an hour and got about half of them done, but it's 3am and I have to be at work in a few hours. I'm going to bed.

(And by "would like to help" I mean "please ****ing do the rest of this together because holy ballsack")

Just be careful not to delete real people. They have posts. And a pulse.

Let me just bust out my super sekrit super powers. I shall smite them all.

Unless they are gingers. (Sorry Alisyn) Kappaface

I would like to help. And by "would like to help" I mean "give me the f-ing right to do so and I'll cast vanish on all of those bots"

No, seriously, I even checked the modcp, I can't delete users. I would REALLY have liked to help you. :/

We had advanced warning because of Future Boy and his flux capacitor here.

I'm sad to say, even with the heads-up I could not purchase more birthday cake yesterday. It's a logistical nightmare! Just look at that list of guests! "Should I get chocolate? Shit, ninacaldwell201 doesn't like chocolate! Angel food then?"

I'd volunteer to help with the spambot whack-a-mole but I'm afraid I would delete myself.

Fixed.
