Actual discussion in In the Trenches should be well buried by morning at the rate "linyun" or whatever's going. I've reported two, but any more and it'd probably just be annoying.

I'd actually prefer you report them all, Prak. Thank you both for reporting them. The bot has been banned and the threads removed.

ok, I'll keep in mind. Don't know how things work on your end, so whatever's easiest for you, zherog.

All the mods receive an e-mail for each reported post. (So yes, if 10 people all report 10 posts I'm going to end with 100 e-mails.) When I deal with a spambot, I do go and search for posts by the son of a bitch just to make sure, but I find it easier to work from the e-mails.
Thanks for catching them.

Also.... I'd like to ask folks not to reply to spambots, especially if the bot posts in an existing thread, since it makes more work.

Holy spambots, Batman! Today there were at least 71 guests online when I checked in.

New one.
also... Wolverhampton sounds totally made up (though is apparently a real place).

They don't care how many users we have. They care that we're a stable, long-standing site. That helps them get a higher rating in Google's index.

| lnj19800 left a response on the social system thread which is advertising for some DVD rip...Thing. Devious little spammer had me thinking that the thread was active again. |

Generally speaking, I will get to this pieces of shit faster if you report the post, rather than posting here. (I can't speak for fbmf's preference, but I suspect it's the same.)
edit: also, I merged the two similar spambot threads together.

I could be wrong, but I think I did both. I wasn't sure which was more helpful.
