Bots

[7daysofHAl]

hello!

The bots are getting out of hand right now. Its really bad. Like look right now. What the hell!!!! Get the hell off the site.

I will pay 10,000 points or more to the banning of these bots who spam inappropriate content, adware, and overall cause harm.

Make this site a better place.

Godspeed AF user base.

Edit nov 4th 2024:
All these accounts are old and established from the late 2000s being REAL PEOPLE but in one way or another, the accounts got compromised and began to post illegal content just recently in the forums.

All we can do is alert the mod team and do our best to report these accounts until a solution is finalized.

WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED
MODS BAN THEM

I've messaged Aarin about them, but she hasn't replied yet.

I also sent a message via contact but also haven't gotten anything either.
I do recall seeing that they're busy.

Hi, sorry I am having health issues for quite a while... so I can only check like once a week but I will try to check more often if possible. Those accounts are very old and inactive accounts, so will probably get them deleted if more spams come from the same account, I am waiting to see if that happens... but for now, they spam one shot and not spam another day. I have not been pruning old inactive accounts for quite a long time, maybe I should do that soon.
Thanks everyone for messaging me and letting me know!

Wow! I have reported them in the hope that anyone of the moderating team will see it very soon and remove it.

[aarinfantasy]

Cleared them, already send a request for update. Meanwhile, I am slowly removing very old inactive accounts.

Thanks so much for the hard work!
