@Manton Do we need to adjust the system?
I’m not sure how all of these are bypassing the security checks…

Flagging a post as spam unlists it, apparently. I’m doing that.

Seriously though… they have filled the new posts section entirely…
@morphic, yeah, and then I can go in and delete/block the user/ip. It sucks because they are all different users

@manton, I disabled new user registrations for right now as a countermeasure… there’s so many of these that if they keep coming this fast we’re gonna get fucking wrecked.

What I don’t understand is what they get out of it. It’s pretty easy to automate something like this, but it’s not zero effort or resources. Does anyone anywhere actually look at this shit and call one of those numbers? Perplexing that it’s even a thing these days.

Idk…in my day we would keep a thread open…and just unleash the full force of idmf shitposts as an example…to not f/with idmf
Troll bots…have nothing on people who actually have lives.
Also we could spam the spammers.
Seriously… I dont get it.
There is a small part of me that wonders if a disgraced former member decided to try and stick it to us or something… lol.
I dont think that’s likely, but you never know. haha

Thank you @morphic !!! Really appreciate your help with that. I would give you a prize or thank you gift if i had one. Maybe i’ll think of something. haha
I’ll get to the remainder shortly, I’m working on some security improvements for this before I re-enable registrations, and i want to have some easy to reference examples of what bot’s typically post.

I’m here. Where are these posts?
Most we’re flagged and deleted. Let me send you a link, I’ll dm you.
Great work all!
Seems like they used to be at least a little decent about it. Full-on automation and burying real posts is likely to get them knocked off even faster than something silly we can roast

We have followed up with discourse on how to better prevent this happening.
We’re keeping new user registrations closed for now till there’s a solution.
