Massive Spambot invasion 4/16/2016

[SilverRain]

Is there a way to turn off those sidebars so that at least the forum won't look as flooded?

[Shienvien]

I reckon non-mods should probably still report just the bot-accounts (so that a mod can just sit in that one thread, refreshing it, and ban any linked accounts, as opposed to scouring the entire site).

[Kurai Assassin]

theres a thread for that, but the Bot Killer Squad is here to make sure they get reported

[Cyndyr]

Was wondering what was up with all the Korean threads. Well, at least this gives us great fuel for a Roleplay idea involving the Guild.

There is a memeber barbie098 who is a bot

@Fantasy Shadows

Yes, Fantasy Shadows. Thank you -- we're aware.

I'm booting up the Guild development environment on my computer to get the first patch out the door.

I have a lot of spam-prevention ideas, but the most robust ones require the most development time. Today I'll be focusing on the simplest and fastest-to-implement solutions to slow down the assault and buy time for the more robust solutions.

[Fantasy Shadows]

@MahzAwesom you go and beat those Bots to the door. We Bot Killers shall stay and catch those who have squeezed into the site and bring them to justice.

I don't know about that, but it's one of the best examples of poacher turned gamekeeper that I've ever seen. And he's not half bad, either. Go figure.

>Mahz' face when


"They shall be my finest examples of code, these bits who give of themselves to me. Like clay I shall mould them, and in the furnace of spam forge them. They will be of computational will and steely hardware. In great harddrives they shall reside and armed with the mightiest banhammers.
They will be untouched by viruses or schrodinger's bugs, no sickness will need to be patched. They will have algorithms, more algorithms, and even more algorithms so that no bot can best them in battle. They are my bulwark against the Terror. They are the defenders of the RPGuild, they are my spambot filters and they shall know no fear."

Nah seriously tho thanks a ton Mahz, you a real mvp.

[Shienvien]

@Mahz Do you reckon there'd be a more effective method for the gibberish-thread-removal than pure manual?

[Ellri]

Hmm... Lovely variation from the furniture / kitchen bots...

[Kurai Assassin]

I think we won, congrats guys

[Fantasy Shadows]

They are back!

[Kurai Assassin]
