Don't reply to spam bots, pl0x.
« on: November 13, 2009, 01:30:13 AM »
See topic.

After the recent "Aiongate" incident, I found more posts saying "GTFO SPAM BOT" than the spam bot was actually able to make.  I don't think I really need to explain why that's more than a bit silly.

If a spam bot actually manages to make a post, just click the report button and forget that the post existed.  When you click that it'll send me an e-mail with a link to the thread (as well as a description that you guys fill in) so that I can take care of it.  Causing a larger disruption than the spam bot itself does isn't going to help matters.

Wait, I don't get it. So...we're supposed to respond to spam bots since that cuts down on disruption? I'm not entirely sure what you're saying here.

EDIT: seriously, though, I never noticed that "Report to moderator" thing, and it's been here all this time? Trippy.

It's part of SMF.... I also said something about not responding because some spam bots will actually post more when you respond.
This is going in my sig. :)
