Kbin Pornbot alert - looks like a number of bot accounts have taken up residence on kbin and are spamming /m/random with porn

Looks like we've had a wave of porn bots hit recently. Screenshot is a sampling of what's popping up on my threads feed when sorted by new.

A heads up to @ernest and to folks with magazines that might get hit by these guys. Looks like they're submitting from a couple of different domains, so it's difficult to block them from the user side, and some admin action might be necessary.

EDIT: ernest has removed the accounts and content, looks like all is well.

  • @Arotrios The magazines have been cleaned up and I've deleted the associated accounts. If this happens again, I'll apply a temporary fix. And if the campaigns cease, I'll work on a more comprehensive solution. Thanks for reaching out.

    • @ernest - thanks! Glad I could help - you've built a great space here, and I know what a pain it is to deal with spambots.
