Yep, at around 11:30 or so, M4 and I noticed this obnoxious bot posting on lots of threads with advertisements regarding worthless and stupid football jerseys and other un-forum related apparel. "Her" username is zhouchaojie. I have reason to believe it's a bot due to stupid and unnecessary off-topic posts. Screenshots:    It continues on. If a mod could at some point read this and stop this before it gets more posts than half the forum, I'm sure we would all be happy. Merci pour votre heure. |

It never wrote the exact same thing twice

Those bot makers are getting crazier and crazier

"She" already has 38 posts...
Someone really needs to ban "her".

I am assuming Veers already did.

I had already taken care of that a little while ago, banning the IP and deleting all but two posts for evidence, which are in the Spam Board. Apparently, the evidence is unnecessary seeing that we have a screenshot...

Shouldn't this be in 'About The Forum'?

These appeared all the time on the FSG Forums. Though, usually it was porn links.

Yes, the great bot invasion of 2006. They completely destroyed the old Block Action forums I used to frequent.

They still roam around FSG sometimes.

Yup, no purpose and no one to Troll/ agravate. Meaningless to put them there...

It appears that the bot might have been set to copy exact articles of a football ezene. ((or whatever it's called))
Very strange...
My guess is that someone looked for forums with 'ball' in the name and dispatched it here, not looking at the contents of the forum. If this were sports site, it might have taken longer to notice.... But it's long gone now, since this topic is sort of old.

Who set it up, and check out the email to see if it is real.

Old news. Even if there was anyone on that email they'd be gone by the two months that have passed since it was here.

Yeah, but still you might find out if they are a bot.

I had only made the post to give some idea on how that bot might have worked.

I don't mean you, soandso, although that is probably how it works. I mean, in regards to shkids, that it's been over two months now and that doesn't matter. We already know it was a bot (no human would advertise football in that manner on the dan-ball forums), and it isn't worth taking extra efforts to confirm the botness of a long-banned spammer.
