My only guess (which is a bit far fetched), is that they somehow want to influence Google's search engine. I recall some years back that particularly enthusiastic people were able to change Google's results by swarming it with the wrong links. E.g. Searching for "Easter" gives Easter egg results. But they could keep on clicking, say, "Kitten" results and eventually, Google will show kitten results for Easter.

Later on, Google updated their algorithms. They now provide results for that which is most linked to. If I search "Butterfly", Google will show me a helpful wiki about butterflies because that is what most people have linked to. Google ranks searches by their reputation through the number of places that have linked them.

I think that's what the K-bots are doing here. They link to casinos, so if someone searches for Korean casinos, Google will see the massive number of links on our site and thus say "Xyz. com" is a good Korean casino.

At least that's what it looked like based on a computational algorithm article I read some years back. Google might have updated their algorithms since, and so may have spammers.

@SilverRain I see... but really, what I care for at the moment, is to see them gone from the Guild ONCE and for ALL.

@Mahz, hopefully you are working on it, but consider this an urgent cry of help for actual action! At least tell us what you have planned for these spam bots. PLEASE.

You can check out this link for more spambot discussions as this thread is for reporting only I think. .

The linked thread goes through what was discussed last time and the measures taken. :)

I was in that chat... and that was before. We need to know what to do NOW. Notify google of this problem and they do something (I heavily doubt that could even work) but still...

Wait... I think I have a solution for this... Can CAPTCHA tests work? It should be the easiest way to keep out bots, while only providing simple tests that we can all solve. Is this possible @Mahz?

Not to forget their cousin, caught from the most recent sidebar.

If North Korea isn't bad enough, here comes China:

Still Korean - I googled Zhang Ya and it brought me to a Korean girls photo page. It loaded halfway before I panicked and pressed back in case it's charging me for access. Is that how pay-for-access sites work?

@SilverRain Ah. Actually I mean the post this bot had generated was in Chinese, about university degrees.

^{By the way I'm Chinese. How can I not recognize and understand my own mother tongue? XD}

Ah I see - well I guess this means we'll soon be seeing Japanese, Malay and everything. Is that when I can break out my Bingo set? :P

@SilverRain Oh god please no.

Korean casino was bad enough.

The UK furniture was much more easygoing.

Like seriously... could CAPTCHA tests be a thing like to complete making a new profile work to prevent spambots from coming in?

Freshly made in China.
