Its been a while...

The following spambots have been caught as I now find out I lost a bet that will someday come back to haunt me...

There have been NO spambots since my last post O_O

Not one bot has actually interacted with me. There are bots out there but I have been too busy to hunt them down to make a list.

P.S. Ignis and Mort are teasing me for losing the bet but they are not the ones I lost the bet to.

she-who-drank-vodka-with-cats — He's just a hypocritical RocheCiri hater.

And? What do you expect me to do about it?

In your messed up mind, everyone who doesn't ship Ciri with Roche is a RocheCiri hater. I wouldn't be surprise if you sent the same message but change it into my name in somebody else's inbox considering I sail the SS Cirivran in the fandom seas.

I don't give a shit if these two pixel people is shipped with other pixel people. I have my own pixel pair to fawn over.

it’s been a report spam block typa week what’s up with all the porn on my dash????

hey newcomers! it’s all bots and bot notes! please report them for SPAM, not mature content!

flagging them for mature content will just get them a content warning. you need to report them as spam so they can be recognized as bots!

to see less of it, you could maybe try to filter out words that are often used by bots. there are also settings that allow you to hide mature content behind a warning, but this would only work if the bot post was given a mature label, and unfortunately the droid army isn’t very good at tagging posts correctly.

the most we can do is to report them as spam.

i’ve seen some confused newcomers so please rb for awareness and stay safe out there.

@staff can we talk about the spam sex bots going around? They are showing up in tags that should be sfw. I got three posts in a row, at least one of them was tagged with age regression which is a community that has worked extremely hard to distance itself from kink and sex.

Their spamming fandom tags and have even shown up in the autism tag. I want to know when this will be addressed and when this will get fixed. This isn't Twitter, there's a reason people have come over here from Twitter

These bot accounts are getting so annoying its not even funny. All the new followers I have gotten are BOTS.

A WARNING TO ANY AND ALL THAT HAPPEN TO FOLLOW ME!!

If you follow me and you don't have anything on your page, or the name comes up as 'Untitled' when I look at the profile, I WILL BLOCK YOU AND REPORT YOU AS SPAM!! I'm just giving a fair warning. I see more bot notifications than anything else!

[potato-dragons]

I wish those that run and operate spam / porn bots accounts here to self delete themself off a cliff in rl

[emaya-chan-the-potato-headed]

Whoever is creating all these thot bot accounts, can you make them cats instead? Then maybe we wouldn't block them so many times!

New Wave of Spambots that tag you in their bot posts/replies

it appears a new wave of spam bots is out and about and these bots are somewhat different than the bots that have been plaguing me and others in the past. Here’s what you need to know about the latest batch of bots no one wants and @staff need to ban or let my fire titans unleash a wrath of fury upon them.

These bots have the same 3 word names as previous batches (I.E.  valiantgladiatorwerewolf)

They will tag a random blog either in a post or a reply to another bot’s post advertising some sort of Chinese dating/porn site (DO NOT CLICK IT!!!)

They may follow your blog one at a time, blocking one seems to trigger a new bot to follow you

As of as 12/13/2022 I have not seen these bots spam likes

replies have 4 random letters/numbers before tagging a random blog

Here is a very long list of bots I have caught after one of these bots tagged my main blog in a post this evening in the replies to another bot’s post (Yes I literally looked at and copied each bot name in the replies, this took me over an hour to do and I was already exhausted when I discovered this)

EDIT 12/14/2022: Updated list to remove duplicate names and fix typos
