Thai gambling spambot

[Rogerborg]

Just wondering if there's anything that can be done about the spambot that's obsessed with creating new johnnyufafrN+1 accounts, reposting old content, and adding the exact same link to https://electroambientspace.com/how-to-play-slotxo/ every time.

 

It feels like there should be a very-small-shell-script solution to this rather than having to manually clean up multiples of them every day.

I think that might have been done for the old one (john the 40 year old 1911 shooter) hence its changed to this new post?

It's the exact same link in every post though.

True, but banning the n+1 usernames wont work long term if it's gonna change the username/post content randomly?

True, that would have to be the way to do it.

Did they give an e mail address when they joined? If so i suggest we sign them up for loads of mailing lists to send them loads of spam

That's a 1990s solution that deserves a 1990's emoticon  8O 

 

Really though, it's a bot, it'll have used something disposable.  Manual action or reaction can't keep up with automated spam, thus the suggestion that some sort of scripted solution might be better.

 

If I wasn't so lazy I'd have a look at what Invision offer.  But I am, so...
