#report spam and block

[somethingusefulfromflorida]

Does anyone remember the staffbots? They were named staff420690 or staff867530, they were everywhere for about 2 days, and then they all disappeared. Was that 2022 or 2021? I honestly don't remember.

My point is, those old bots came and went pretty quickly, but the new generation of spambots are spreading like wildfire and there's no relief on sight! People say that the current pornbots have names like jennifer300 or sarah2525 but no, the names the bots choose sound more like bad localizations of American athletes on the NES

They all look KINDA like real names, but just slightly wrong, senina, lebecca, jostice, ermily, vaguely name-like strings of letters.

I went back through my block list to look for specific examples, but they've all changed their names to random gibberish, prrsumably after having been flagged and blocked so many times.

Yesterday, this was full of names like mernany and shelsa and brichenne, but now they're all just keysmashes.

I’m sorry, but I don’t give a shit how realistic your URL or reblogs & posts look. If your blog is untitled or has no banner or profile pic, then it’s getting blocked and reported spam.

Literally go to Google and make your profile picture a stock photo of a Honda Civic or something. It’d literally be 10x better than just having a blank blog.

wow there's a lot of spam accounts today. must have reported and blocked at least six or eight just today. i don't have to put out this much trash in real life.

[beardedcoffeeholic]

I am so done with the empty and/or fake accounts starting to follow me or even worse, sending a message with just “hi” or “hello”. 😡

So keep in mind when following me that empty accounts will be blocked and spammy accounts will be reported too by me 🚫⚠️

latest spam bots have: generic icon, suspish names, and explicit video posts right up front. i'm reporting both spam and explicit, and blocking. also they show up in my activity as liking a post, not as a new follow. i sort of remember this tactic from a few years ago, it means i will have to check all those activity notifs where multiple people liked the same post.

if those are sw blogs, and they want to also do fandom stuff on tumblr, they need to make a separate account for that.

[anyu-blue]

Oh look... A dozen more bots to block.

I'm honestly sick and tired of all of these and having to go in and report and block. But if I don't do it every single day, look what happens: a buildup.

Eshaallefrancois359 has our typical hyperlink where they try to take you to a secondary location. Never follow a pornbot to a secondary location and you should be fine

//WHY ARE THEY REBLOGGING POSTS NOW????
