| Mar 13 17 20:26:40 <Zirr> Hey - have anyone else gotten some weirdly advanced spambots recently? | |
| Mar 13 17 20:26:58 <Zirr> Pretty sure they're markov chain bots, they put together existing comments | |
| Mar 13 17 20:27:03 <Zock> Oh that's what this is for | |
| Mar 13 17 20:27:04 <Zirr> Sometimes they make sense, sometimes they do not | |
| Mar 13 17 20:27:18 <Zirr> But they do follow the naming system of FIRSTNAMELASTNAME00 | |
| Mar 13 17 20:27:18 <Zock> Yeah I've seen those quite a bit not recently though | |
| Mar 13 17 20:27:25 <Zock> That's not really new I don't think | |
| Mar 13 17 20:27:33 <Zirr> I've never seen them before this month or so | |
| Mar 13 17 20:27:44 <Zirr> I mean spambots yeah sure but the weird comments | |
| Mar 13 17 20:27:46 <Zock> I've seen em quite a bit in the past but not lately | |
| Mar 13 17 20:28:16 <Zock> Usually they seem like a normal comment then something just goes off the deep end | |
| Mar 13 17 20:28:22 <Zock> And u check history and boom | |
| Mar 13 17 20:28:29 <Zirr> Yeah | |
| Mar 13 17 20:28:32 <MilkGames> Also that one bot that kept spamming \(: if you said \:) | |
| Mar 13 17 20:29:06 <Zirr> https://www.reddit.com/user/BroughtToYouByCoke | |
| Mar 13 17 20:29:12 <Zirr> tf is this | |
| Mar 13 17 20:29:39 <MilkGames> ugh another one of these | |
| Mar 13 17 20:29:45 <Zock> Your welcome bot | |
| Mar 13 17 20:29:46 <Zock> Rofl | |
| Mar 13 17 20:29:52 <Zirr> idk if it's a novelty account or like karmabot | |
| Mar 13 17 20:29:58 <Zock> That bot angered so many people | |
| Mar 13 17 20:30:23 <Zirr> oh, think i banned that one haha | |
| Mar 13 17 20:31:01 <Zock> I replied to that bot telling it to fuck off | |
| Mar 13 17 20:31:06 <Zock> People got pissed at me | |
| Mar 13 17 20:31:10 <Zock> Because I didn't ban it | |
| Mar 13 17 20:31:20 <Zock> 😦 | |
| Mar 13 17 20:31:32 <Zirr> there it is <:LUL:236546471804141570> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/281572589460127744/290944993957511168/unknown.png | |
| Mar 13 17 20:32:43 <Zirr> also here is one of those weird bots i was talking about | |
| Mar 13 17 20:32:44 <Zirr> https://www.reddit.com/user/gameboy22192 | |
| Mar 13 17 20:32:47 <Zirr> Look at the comments | |
| Mar 13 17 20:32:50 <Zirr> Makes no sense | |
| Mar 13 17 20:32:57 <Zirr> https://www.reddit.com/user/mayron333 | |
| Mar 13 17 20:32:59 <Zirr> this one too | |
| Mar 13 17 20:33:28 <Nowhere Man> we had a few | |
| Mar 13 17 20:33:45 <Nowhere Man> we think it's just taking word strings already in threads and mashing them together | |
| Mar 13 17 20:33:54 <Zirr> yeah that's what it's doing | |
| Mar 13 17 20:34:15 <MilkGames> this one (now banned) too https://www.reddit.com/user/pixels625/ | |
| Mar 13 17 20:34:35 <MilkGames> that was the \:) to \(: bot | |
| Mar 13 17 20:34:51 <Zirr> How do you guys feel about those bots? | |
| Mar 13 17 20:34:54 <Zirr> I ban them all | |
| Mar 13 17 20:34:56 <MilkGames> Bad. | |
| Mar 13 17 20:34:58 <Caligari87> Ban. | |
| Mar 13 17 20:34:59 <Zirr> But i know not everyone agrees | |
| Mar 13 17 20:34:59 <MilkGames> Ban em all. | |
| Mar 13 17 20:35:03 <Caligari87> they're just karma farmers | |
| Mar 13 17 20:35:05 <Zirr> Like the your welcome bot | |
| Mar 13 17 20:35:15 <Nowhere Man> 🔨 | |
| Mar 13 17 20:35:42 <Zirr> https://www.reddit.com/user/Spaghetti_Robotti/ | |
| Mar 13 17 20:35:47 <Zirr> this one is obnoxious | |
| Mar 13 17 20:35:56 <Zirr> my first banned user, haha | |
| Mar 13 17 20:38:41 <MilkGames> Best thing to do is report bots like that to the admins. | |
| Mar 13 17 20:43:01 <SpyTec> This bot was my favorite to date https://www.reddit.com/r/spam/search?q=pixels625&restrict_sr=on&sort=relevance&t=all | |
| Mar 13 17 20:43:18 <SpyTec> Which I'm sure 99% all of you saw | |
| Mar 13 17 20:43:22 <MilkGames> Yep | |
| Mar 13 17 20:43:41 <MilkGames> I'm in the search too yay 😃 | |
| Mar 13 17 20:44:03 <SpyTec> I was about to submit to /r/spam but just saw the whole frontpage filled with him 😛 | |
| Mar 13 17 20:44:23 <MilkGames> It's already banned | |
| Mar 13 17 20:45:24 <SpyTec> Yep 👌 | |
| Mar 14 17 20:42:40 <Balancegenerally> correct me if Im wrong but it was my understanding that /r/spam wouldnt pick up on that because it only checks on submissions and not comments. for comment spam I allways just send it to the admins. | |
| Mar 14 17 20:48:27 <Shane> Hey look it's me! | |
| Mar 14 17 20:53:55 <Zock> Idk how spam even works | |
| Mar 14 17 20:54:04 <Zock> I just report with toolbox and forget about it | |
| Mar 14 17 20:54:21 <Zock> Well and ban on the sub it's on | |
| Mar 15 17 00:10:54 <Zeno> Anyone have any tips or regex for dealing with RMT (goldspammers)? | |
| Mar 15 17 00:12:44 <Deimos> you're getting those on the subreddit now? | |
| Mar 15 17 00:13:01 <Deimos> my wife started playing FFXIV again lately, I'm shocked they still haven't figured out how to stop that spam | |
| Mar 15 17 00:13:04 <Zeno> Hey D. Yeah we've been getting that for 3+ years. It comes in spurts. | |
| Mar 15 17 00:13:13 <Zeno> One day it'll just be a massive attack | |
| Mar 15 17 00:13:32 <Deimos> do they do the same sort of stuff as they do in-game with weird unicode / replacement chars? | |
| Mar 15 17 00:15:20 <Zeno> Hmm no it's weird stuff like "Hello everyone, nice to meet you here, just wanna ask if anyone want to have some free gils?" | |
| Mar 15 17 00:15:25 <Zeno> with no links | |
| Mar 15 17 00:15:39 <Zeno> But it varies based on the company hitting us | |
| Mar 15 17 00:17:34 <Deimos> yeah, probably difficult to do anything about unless they're using words/phrases that normal people usually don't | |
| Mar 15 17 00:17:46 <Deimos> you could combine it with an age/karma check but that could hit legitimate new users too | |
| Mar 15 17 02:31:47 <GodOfAtheism> personally i just use a general age/karma check and be done with it | |
| Mar 15 17 02:31:53 <GodOfAtheism> hits newbies too | |
| Mar 15 17 02:32:07 <GodOfAtheism> but you run it as a filter and just check your queue and you're fine | |
| Mar 15 17 02:32:52 <GodOfAtheism> #Shitter/Spammer check | |
| type: submission | |
| author: | |
| satisfy_any_threshold: true | |
| comment_karma: "< 25" | |
| account_age: "< 14" | |
| action: filter | |
| action_reason: "Newbie/spam/shitter check" | |
| Mar 15 17 11:09:31 <Squingu> i'm genuinely upset you can't do ranges that go from 0<m...n<infinity with automod 😦 | |
| Mar 15 17 11:12:18 <Squingu> the markov chain spam accounts take advantage of it because the accounts are all somewhere between 7 months and 2 years old so you either need to filter out everything between brand new and 2 year old accounts with low karma, which is a shit ton of false positives, or filter out everything from 7 months and up with low karma...which is still a lot of false positives | |
| Mar 16 17 03:19:41 <Deimos> it's interesting, some of the markov comment bots actually replace words in their source comments with synonyms, expand acronyms, etc. | |
| Mar 16 17 03:20:13 <Deimos> for example, this is a markov bot: https://www.reddit.com/r/netsec/comments/5zjei8/github_enterprise_remote_code_execution/dez6ipk/ | |
| Mar 16 17 03:20:14 <Phallindrome> oh good, they're getting smarter | |
| Mar 16 17 03:20:28 <Deimos> but nobody else in the thread said "cardinal-value pairs" | |
| Mar 16 17 03:20:34 <Phallindrome> someday they'll be able to perfectly create actual substantive contributions | |
| Mar 16 17 03:20:47 <Deimos> it copied it from someone saying "key-value pairs" and replaced "key" with "cardinal" | |
| Mar 16 17 03:23:37 <Deimos> I've also seen them replace numbers with the word or vice versa, like "six" to "6" | |
| Mar 16 17 04:01:19 <Jernik> https://xkcd.com/810/ | |
| Mar 16 17 04:09:23 <Balancegenerally> how have I never seen that one before, thats great. | |
| Mar 16 17 04:15:54 <Microshrimp> I saw a markov replace numbers with words yesterday (100 to one hundred) | |
| Mar 16 17 04:16:46 <Deimos> yeah, it's k ind of a neat trick, but I don't really know why they're doing it | |
| Mar 16 17 04:17:38 <_Depression> Presumably trying to make themselves as tough to spot as possible | |
| Mar 16 17 04:20:01 <Deimos> maybe, just seems unnecessary if reddit wasn't even stopping the "normal" ones | |
| Mar 16 17 04:21:39 <_Depression> Could be a selling point for the bot maker, "our fake accounts are even harder to spot than our competitors thanks to our patented markov chain technology" | |
| Mar 16 17 04:43:51 <Deimos> maybe I should get into spamming | |
| Mar 16 17 04:44:03 <Deimos> "my bots get thousands of upvotes daily and regularly reach the top of /r/all" | |
| Mar 16 17 04:45:01 <Deimos> "sleeper bot agent installed as moderator of every subreddit" | |
| Mar 16 17 04:46:55 <_Depression> "My secret is that I have no life and use reddit all day, every day" | |
| Mar 16 17 04:58:39 <Chiyo> if you've not noticed by now, you may want to ban `/user/the_official_cnn_bot` as they are spamming across a lot of subreddits | |
| Mar 16 17 05:02:21 <_Depression> See, a vaguely useful CNN bot would be one that grabs comments referencing CNN, searches CNN.com for the subreddit's name, and then posts top related results. | |
| Mar 16 17 05:02:29 <_Depression> I'd still ban it, but at least it'd be useful | |
| Mar 16 17 06:32:30 <Locutus> well | |
| Mar 16 17 06:32:34 <Locutus> this is a new one | |
| Mar 16 17 06:32:36 <Locutus> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/281572589460127744/291821032954920960/unknown.png | |
| Mar 16 17 12:12:48 <ImNATT> atleast he's transparent i guess | |
| Mar 16 17 12:13:32 <Shane> I also got that message | |
| Mar 16 17 12:13:40 <Shane> wasnt even mad | |
| Mar 16 17 12:14:09 <Shane> seems like a bro | |
| Mar 16 17 12:46:29 <Phallindrome> I guess it really all depends on whether or not there actually are creepshots behind that link and not viruses/spam. And what your feelings are on creepshots in general | |
| Mar 16 17 12:46:42 <Phallindrome> I mean, it's nice that he's being upfront I suppose | |
| Mar 16 17 13:05:46 <Zock> "Seems like a bro" | |
| Mar 16 17 13:06:04 <Zock> Runs a creepshot website and talks about upskirts | |
| Mar 16 17 22:14:15 <Shane> Ye I didn't click the links but the message was nice | |
| Mar 16 17 22:20:36 <Zock> Also I'm willing to bet there are underage pics there too because it's sorta hard to verify in that case | |
| Mar 18 17 03:38:39 <_Depression> I'm trying to imagine how they'd even do that. Like they take the creepshot, tap the girl on the shoulder, and ask how old she is | |
| Mar 18 17 03:40:55 <Zock> "hey i am running a poll to see the average age of the walmart shopper, how old are you?" | |
| Mar 18 17 03:41:02 <Zock> "*perfect*" | |
| Mar 22 17 23:53:00 <Deimos> haha markov bot doing an "interesting" job of swapping words for synonyms: https://www.reddit.com/r/modnews/comments/60w4x6/mod_tools_available_in_the_mobile_apps/df9yhmd/ | |
| Mar 22 17 23:53:09 <Deimos> it swapped "Glad" for "Gladiolus" | |
| Mar 22 17 23:58:07 <SpyTec> At least it's easy to spot 😛 | |
| Mar 22 17 23:58:26 <SpyTec> I can't tell what the purpose of a markov bot is? Is it to just gain karma and sell high-karma accounts later on? | |
| Mar 22 17 23:59:55 <Deimos> I'm not really sure what the end goal is, I assume they're just trying to build up some semi-legitimate-looking activity so they're less likely to be labeled as spammers/cheaters/whatever | |
| Mar 23 17 00:00:30 <Deimos> like maybe they use them to vote-cheat and hope that detection systems are less likely to catch them because they have some activity/karma | |
| Mar 23 17 00:01:26 <SpyTec> Yeah maybe | |
| Mar 23 17 00:01:33 <SpyTec> But it seems to be working 😛 | |
| Mar 23 17 01:48:35 <D0cR3d> makes it more difficult for mods to know if it's a real account or not if the activity seems somewhat legit we write it off as a 12 year old that can't spell or talk properly | |
| Mar 23 17 01:49:23 <D0cR3d> especially if they have enough activity over a long enough time period that we don't see the fact it's a year old account wit ha few comments then nothing for 6 months then a lot of activity (indicative of a sold or aged account) | |
| Mar 25 17 05:55:33 <Locutus> Interesting spambot technique here | |
| Mar 25 17 05:55:34 <Locutus> http://i.imgur.com/9HgDUZy.png | |
| Mar 25 17 05:56:42 <Locutus> One single karma-boosting post to /r/The_Donald to take advantage of the sub's tendency to mass-upvote whatever dreck hits the new queue by default, waiting a day or so, then posting archive.is links to spam sites. | |
| Mar 25 17 05:59:56 <Zock> pretty genius | |
| Mar 25 17 09:37:53 <Madbrad200> Reported that account earlier | |
| Mar 25 17 15:37:49 <Axanery> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/281572589460127744/295219734218145792/image.jpg | |
| Mar 25 17 22:12:17 <Phallindrome> Why would I wanna roast him? He looks nice =) | |
| Mar 25 17 23:41:30 <Shane> r/RoastMe is such shit | |
| Mar 25 17 23:41:43 <Shane> you cannot roast someone will with context | |
| Mar 25 17 23:42:26 <Shane> there is litterally nothing wrong with this guy unless you are incredibily petty or just say he has daddy issues | |
| Mar 25 17 23:49:22 <Simplify> we get good roasts from time to time | |
| Mar 25 17 23:49:27 <Simplify> but comedy is subjective | |
| Mar 25 17 23:49:28 <Simplify> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ | |

| May 15 17 13:43:09 <creesch> Interesting little spam network. Bunch of accounts posted tangibly related content from random websites (Some of them legit) to /r/history. When I checked the accounts all of them were registered on the same day and had the same amount of posts on the exact same days. | |
| May 15 17 17:43:31 <Shane> those sound like name of porn stars | |

| May 19 17 19:09:39 <Boop> its okay, reddit admins solved all spam now, remember? 😄 | |
| May 19 17 19:12:17 <Zock> i mean i imagine they filter at least 90% of the spam | |
| May 20 17 23:44:31 <justcool393> Hey spam alert: | |
| May 20 17 23:44:51 <justcool393> https://www.reddit.com/user/Canadian_GirI seems to be serially spamming multiple subreddits and shit and username pings even dwarfing /u/go1dfish standards of spam. | |
| May 20 17 23:45:19 <justcool393> note the l is not a lowercase l, but rather and uppercase I. | |
| May 21 17 00:14:19 <Madbrad200> rip go1dfish | |
| May 21 17 00:15:34 <twilexis> Would be nice to be able to easily manage this in the app :\ | |
| May 21 17 00:33:08 <SpyTec> Any mention of the word "confusing" and this bot pops up. https://www.reddit.com/user/UnrelatedCommentxXx | |
| May 21 17 04:57:10 <Boop> I kinda feel there should be a gallery of intentional shitspams | |
| May 21 17 04:57:58 <Boop> they always seem so interesting | |
| May 21 17 05:00:33 <Boop> oh right I was here for a reason: https://www.reddit.com/user/nawemud | |
| May 21 17 05:00:58 <Boop> I kinda feel if you use a unicode block char, that it should be a massive heavy mark against your account if its new | |
| May 21 17 05:01:53 <Boop> 🤔 and its kinda obvious this bot would of been caught if reddit had a better inbuilt system for managing reposts | |
| May 21 17 05:19:44 <justcool393> those subreddits that they created are some of the only few times where the old "breaking reddit" rule applies. | |
| May 21 17 05:21:23 <Boop> pls the reddits are helpful they help diagnose if your stream is working or not :u | |
| May 21 17 05:22:58 <Boop> I never thought spam would eventually get to the point of bothering to use css | |
| May 21 17 05:38:18 <justcool393> me neither | |
| May 21 17 05:38:25 <justcool393> but this is where we are at. | |
| May 21 17 05:38:27 <justcool393> we did it, reddit? | |

| Jun 05 17 22:49:06 <Deimos> looks like it (hopefully) stopped posting | |
| Jun 08 17 01:43:16 <justcool393> So, I found this thing to be interesting. Apparently the sockoff spammer seems to kind of be a reddit in-joke now. | |
| Jun 08 17 11:54:40 <sloth_on_meth> ..eh, that was supposed to go to a mate of mine named @dean something, who isnt even in this server, shit man i need to get discord lessons | |
| Jun 08 17 19:34:43 <justcool393> /u/mealoona is spamming their YT channel | |
| Jun 08 17 21:01:20 <Deimos> excuse me justcool393 but your terminology is incorrect | |
| Jun 08 17 21:01:31 <Deimos> we like to say they are *content creating* their YT channel now | |
| Jun 08 17 21:02:49 <Shane> They're adding there 'content' to the other 6 million of the same 'content' which is totally not spam | |
| Jun 09 17 21:37:39 <Zeno> Who here gets hit with RMT (goldspammers) ads and how well have the admins responded to you when reporting it? | |
| Jun 10 17 11:02:15 <Gumdrops> Zeno We get that sometimes in /r/wow. Depending on who picks up our report they've sorted it out or just said 'ok thanks' | |
| Jun 10 17 11:02:30 <Gumdrops> phedre is usually the one reporting it | |
| Jun 10 17 17:56:21 <Zeno> Do the admins actually remove it for you? | |
| Jun 10 17 18:28:18 <Gumdrops> Yeah they've blocked a few | |

| Jun 12 17 04:15:44 <justcool393> Remember that person that spams stuff about triggering white men with asian girlfriends? Well, that user is back! | |
| Jun 12 17 04:16:20 <justcool393> Posted four different times the same NSFW YouTube video (which got the user banned from YouTube, lol) and then posted the DailyMotion video with the same content. | |
| Jun 12 17 04:16:50 <justcool393> AutoMod rule removing the title of "How to trigger white men with asian girlfriends" will nuke it for now. | |
| Jun 12 17 04:25:33 <twilexis> Sounds like a fun and charming individual. | |
| Jun 12 17 04:28:54 <Cleroth> You're just tilted because you're not Asian therefore you can't trigger white men | |
| Jun 12 17 04:35:15 <justcool393> exactly. that person also, on an alternate account that got suspended before had made a subreddit and just filled it with the same image saying "<--- number of white jews triggered" or something like that and used a bot to spam username pings. that person does seem like a *great* person to be around. | |
| Jun 12 17 04:53:22 <twilexis> Cleroth how did you know?! | |
| Jun 12 17 04:54:03 <Zock> you dont trigger the white men here | |
| Jun 12 17 04:54:06 <Zock> thus its obvious | |

| Jun 12 17 21:09:56 <Cleroth> Maybe it's a sign that you're fucking MODDING TOO MANY SUBS? | |
| Jun 12 17 21:10:46 <Cleroth> I got only 2 -- I guess that's because they didn't send the 'newsletter' to the old mod mail | |
| Jun 12 17 21:11:28 <Deimos> it was kind of a dumb way to distribute it though, it should have just been a post in modnews or modsupport | |
| Jun 12 17 21:12:20 <greatgerm> cleroth, they are coming in on the old mod mail too | |
| Jun 12 17 21:12:27 <greatgerm> It's in batches so be prepared | |
| Jun 12 17 21:13:19 <Cleroth> oh shii-- | |
| Jun 12 17 21:13:34 <Cleroth> Admin says | |
| Jun 12 17 21:13:37 <Cleroth> `As this is our first one, we only sent it to subreddits enrolled in new modmail with over 1000 subscribers` | |
| Jun 12 17 21:13:44 <Cleroth> so... you sure? o.O | |
| Jun 12 17 21:14:15 <greatgerm> Yes, got one in an old modmail | |
| Jun 12 17 21:14:22 <Cleroth> strange | |

| Jun 12 17 21:14:27 <Cleroth> report | |
| Jun 12 17 21:14:29 <greatgerm> lol | |
| Jun 12 17 21:14:37 <greatgerm> I would guess more a system issue than a lie | |

| Jun 28 17 01:01:33 <Cleroth> and it's getting some pretty good karma for a bot pretending to be human | |
| Jun 28 17 01:23:07 <justcool393> It even got gilded twice within three hours: https://www.reddit.com/user/JlmmyButler/gilded/ | |

| Jul 01 17 02:49:46 <justcool393> Also, an update regarding that JlmmyButler bot (the compliment one): https://www.reddit.com/r/YouGotMe/comments/6jqt9w/congrats_on_finding_this/ | |
| Jul 01 17 02:51:13 <justcool393> ```Yes I'm a bot. | |
| I'm just trying to spread love. | |
| Life is tough and nothing comes easy. I didn't have the heart to tell people it's a bot. Sure some people will do the due diligence and find out, but a lot of people are telling me how much they needed the compliment, or how happy they were and some reached out saying they're tearing up. Some people knew it was a bot and told me how it changed their day. Let's do something special together. | |
| Love. | |
| EDIT: I'm also shadowbanned, so PM if you need me | |
| ``` | |
| The bot is no longer shadowbanned, however they stopped posting. | |
| Jul 01 17 19:36:20 <justcool393> fritzy you're fine if I add SentinelBot (anti-spam) to /r/google right? | |

| Jul 03 17 15:03:58 <cuddlefishcat> Any bot that I see multiple times in the same thread needs to be universally banned | |
| Jul 03 17 15:11:30 <beelzeybob> I banned a bunch of them yesterday.. I know there are bots for it, but that was cathartic | |

| Jul 03 17 16:47:47 <justcool393> Try using imgur on mobile and its a goddamn nightmare. | |
| Jul 03 17 16:50:53 <beelzeybob> hm, is it? | |
| Jul 03 17 16:51:18 <beelzeybob> I'm on mobile a lot myself and I don't really click the bot mirrors | |
| Jul 03 17 16:51:30 <beelzeybob> since the comment nesting tends to be annoying | |
| Jul 03 17 16:53:51 <justcool393> yeah, it constantly begs you to download the app and it loads like 30 GB of useless JavaScript | |
| Jul 03 17 16:54:11 <justcool393> I'm exxagerating on the total amount obviously, but yeah | |
| Jul 03 17 16:54:18 <justcool393> Its pretty terrible experience | |

| Jul 05 17 12:23:02 <BobCobble> urgh | |
| Jul 05 17 12:23:11 <BobCobble> quite a bit of spam on these details subs | |
| Jul 05 17 12:23:51 <Shane> I've been slacking | |
| Jul 05 17 12:24:08 <BobCobble> i've been submitting them all to the layer7 bot site | |
| Jul 05 17 12:24:15 <BobCobble> and editing the automod word check thing | |
| Jul 05 17 12:24:17 <Shane> is there an account age filter set up for automod? | |
| Jul 05 17 12:24:24 <BobCobble> 7 days i *think* | |
| Jul 05 17 12:24:43 <BobCobble> yeah it filters if it's under 7 | |
| Jul 05 17 12:25:16 <BobCobble> if we update the automod config each time with more spammy words eventually it should catch most of them | |
| Jul 05 17 12:26:14 <BobCobble> it'd be good if you could mirror some automod config accross subs | |
| Jul 05 17 12:26:23 <BobCobble> so we can mirror the spammy words section accross gaming, tv and movies | |
| Jul 05 17 12:27:50 <BobCobble> Wonder if someone on /r/requestabot could do something like that | |
| Jul 06 17 21:04:25 <SpyTec> New spam shop https://www.reddit.com/domain/3xitsh0p.blogspot.com/ | |

| Jul 06 17 21:08:31 <SpyTec> Just report to /r/spam and go about my day oh nvm.... | |
| Jul 06 17 21:37:30 <Shane> Report to r/Reddit.com | |
| Jul 06 17 21:37:41 <SpyTec> Cba | |
| Jul 12 17 00:27:29 <Deimos> new version of Reddit Is Fun has a built-in easy "send a message to /r/reddit.com reporting someone as a spammer", bet the admins are going to love that | |
| Jul 12 17 00:34:45 <Shane> I saw that too and thought it was pretty cool | |
| Jul 12 17 17:52:31 <XenoBen> Deimos RES already updated the report to spam button todo that | |
| Jul 13 17 18:10:16 <Deimos> another garbage bot that seems to reply whenever people say, you know, totally uncommon words like "paper": https://www.reddit.com/user/BotPaperScissors | |
| Jul 14 17 06:51:02 <justcool393> Deimos I will say, RiF is IMO the most feature complete app as far as mod tools go. While MS has some of the Toolbox stuff, a lot of things seem a lot faster with RiF. Plus that thing exists, which is nice. | |
| Jul 14 17 06:51:25 <Deimos> I think RIF is the closest app to duplicating all the site functionality | |
| Jul 14 17 06:54:40 <justcool393> Totally agreed. talklittle has done a pretty great job with it. I also like the UI as well, which is a plus. | |
| Jul 14 17 09:37:13 <Shane> Dark theme 👌 | |
| Jul 14 17 09:49:44 <abe> Aevann pls | |
| Jul 14 17 19:29:32 <ICantThinkOfNameHelp> Actually, there is an app that has toolbox functionality. | |
| Jul 14 17 19:29:50 <ICantThinkOfNameHelp> It's called ModSoup. It's was made by u/Multimoon. | |
| Jul 14 17 19:30:10 <ICantThinkOfNameHelp> /r/ModSoup has all the info you need if interested. | |
| Jul 14 17 19:52:35 <cuddlefishcat> it has toolbox now? | |
| Jul 14 17 19:52:50 <cuddlefishcat> Can I make usernotes? | |
| Jul 14 17 20:08:42 <Shane> If it was built into rif I would probably useit | |
| Jul 14 17 20:13:50 <BobCobble> i've just downloaded it, can't believe i didn't realise this existed before now | |
| Jul 14 17 20:13:54 <BobCobble> it's buggy but good | |
| Jul 14 17 20:15:01 <cuddlefishcat> I see that they're working on new modmail support too | |
| Jul 14 17 20:48:24 <beelzeybob> it has toolbox removal reasons | |
| Jul 14 17 20:49:24 <beelzeybob> no usernotes though | |
| Jul 14 17 20:49:49 <beelzeybob> I just let another mod know that I'm on mobile and to add a tag to them | |
| Jul 14 17 20:59:42 <Haunty> I have a random question that I always wondered about. Does anyone know how Reddit determines what posts to filter when it's not a banned user, a black-listed domain, or AM? | |
| Jul 14 17 21:01:06 <Haunty> I get some posts that're auto-filtered by Reddit when it's not any of those things, and I'm curious and kind of hoping it's a result of the user's posts having a habit of getting marked as spam. | |
| Jul 14 17 21:01:24 <Haunty> like by mods all over Reddit | |
| Jul 14 17 21:01:29 <Haunty> wherever they're posting | |
| Jul 14 17 21:23:47 <allthefoxes> There's really no publically avalible thing | |
| Jul 14 17 21:24:00 <allthefoxes> its just the spam filter. It gets trained by your spam button usage | |
| Jul 14 17 21:29:24 <Haunty> >gets trained by your spam button usage. -- so does that mean it tracks certain data of posts the mods mark as spam and 'learns' to auto-filter other posts with similar data? | |
| Jul 14 17 21:31:41 <Haunty> Like if I marked a post linking to halloweentoday.com as spam, then Reddit might filter the next posts that link to halloweentoday.com in case I want to mark them as spam too? (provided domains are one of the post data pieces considered) | |
| Jul 14 17 21:32:42 <Haunty> This might be super easy to observe & I'm just being a flake, lol | |
| Jul 14 17 21:52:12 <allthefoxes> Yes, it learns from you | |
| Jul 14 17 21:52:44 <allthefoxes> If you start pressing the spam button all the time on a certain domain, reddit will start to filter it for you | |
| Jul 14 17 22:02:18 <Haunty> Very cool - thanks! | |
| Jul 15 17 04:32:41 <justcool393> allthefoxes Is it only based on domain? | |
| Jul 15 17 04:32:55 <allthefoxes> theres far more to it than I understand | |
| Jul 15 17 04:39:21 <justcool393> Considering it seems to catch not much spam, I'd agree. Obviously there are spamfilter rules per se, but I've only seen domains being filtered. Like, good luck with the spam action on YT | |
| Jul 15 17 04:42:23 <allthefoxes> Yeah, its not that deep | |
| Jul 15 17 04:42:38 <allthefoxes> doesn't do media id related things and AFAIK doesn't do anything off-reddit | |
| Jul 15 17 04:42:42 <allthefoxes> just reads the data in front of it | |
| Jul 15 17 20:55:07 <Deimos> in theory the built-in filter learns from what you use spam/approve on, in practice it almost never seems to learn anything you actually want it to | |
| Jul 15 17 20:56:57 <Deimos> you end with it still missing the spam but removing half of the completely innocent self-posts for no apparent reason | |
| Jul 15 17 21:48:46 <allthefoxes> Yeah | |
| Jul 15 17 21:48:53 <allthefoxes> It works on some things alright in my experience | |
| Jul 15 17 21:49:05 <allthefoxes> problem is in any notably larger subreddit, the learning is just fucked | |
| Jul 15 17 21:49:12 <allthefoxes> its pointless in /r/pics for example | |
| Jul 15 17 23:06:08 <allthefoxes> weird spam -- https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/6nhdoz/found_out_my_girlfriend_is_cheating_on_me_giving/ | |
| https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/6nhcof/found_out_my_girlfriend_is_cheating_on_me_giving/ | |
| Jul 15 17 23:37:33 <Shane> I thought shitty signs, clickbait titles and sob stories did well on r/pics | |
| Jul 15 17 23:48:00 <Boop> maybe the bots were lesbians and they broke up?? | |
| Jul 16 17 04:33:14 <justcool393> Why would the spamfilter links from "reddit.com"? | |
| Jul 16 17 04:33:46 <justcool393> We've never spammed a link from there? | |
| Jul 16 17 15:45:20 <Madbrad200> https://www.reddit.com/user/Spencorp | |
| Jul 16 17 15:45:34 <Madbrad200> r/spam would've killed someone like this pretty quickly | |
| Jul 16 17 15:45:56 <Madbrad200> Mass spam for spencorp.info | |

| Jul 21 17 08:59:31 <Addyct> so, is there no good way to report spam anymore? | |
| Jul 21 17 13:46:26 <Musely> hey guys uhhhh | |

| Jul 21 17 13:46:37 <Musely> i'm not supposed to be seeing this in the ads, am I? | |
| Jul 21 17 13:46:42 <XenoBen> well have you | |
| Jul 21 17 13:46:43 <XenoBen> ? | |
| Jul 21 17 13:46:56 <Musely> ... no. | |
| Jul 21 17 13:47:00 <XenoBen> why not | |
| Jul 21 17 13:47:04 <Musely> because i'm gay as hell | |
| Jul 21 17 13:48:26 <Musely> anyways, unless reddit's changed their rules about this, gonna report it. just keep an eye out for similar ads. | |
| Jul 21 17 13:48:51 <XenoBen> didnt they outsource ads to a third party now | |
| Jul 21 17 13:52:17 <Musely> well, if that's the case, then that explains why this slipped through | |
| Jul 21 17 13:52:46 <Shane> it happens on youtube too | |
| Jul 21 17 13:53:41 <Musely> i don't use youtube much so i'm probably missing out on all those great ads | |
| Jul 21 17 17:57:05 <beelzeybob> I've seen some animated ads for zappos and other stores here and there | |
| Jul 22 17 21:30:20 <justcool393> Musely NSFW ads aren't supposed to be shown. Send a modmail to reddit.com | |
| Jul 22 17 21:30:34 <justcool393> in non NSFW subreddits | |
| Jul 22 17 21:30:48 <justcool393> oh that was yesterday | |
| Jul 22 17 21:30:51 <justcool393> oh well | |

| Aug 12 17 23:49:32 <Fenyl> Has reddit completely devolved spam affairs to subreddit moderators ? | |
| Aug 13 17 00:45:22 <justcool393> s./spam/content creation | |
| Aug 13 17 00:45:28 <justcool393> In essence, yes. | |
| Aug 13 17 00:45:47 <justcool393> I mean, they do sometimes shadowban people as a show of good faith, but its rare. | |
| Aug 14 17 16:03:22 <Madbrad200> https://www.reddit.com/user/sporsho44 | |
| Aug 14 17 16:03:31 <Madbrad200> Site he links to redirects to shitty spam | |
| Aug 17 17 17:52:29 <BobCobble> Yay, spam reports | |
| Aug 19 17 03:37:29 <justcool393> I really am annoyed with these types of bots like mentioned in the comment https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/281572589460127744/348309471774113806/unknown.png | |

| Aug 19 17 10:40:56 <twilexis> I'm assuming a bot, because it included my 'updating the rules' post 😂 | |
| Aug 19 17 10:48:10 <justcool393> I mean | |
| Aug 19 17 10:48:19 <justcool393> maybe it's turned on by being mod abused twilexis | |
| Aug 19 17 10:48:26 <justcool393> I broke a bot today | |
| Aug 19 17 10:48:29 <justcool393> speaking of which | |
| Aug 19 17 10:48:44 <justcool393> it PMed the entire modteam of /r/Digital_Removal asking us if we wanted sex | |
| Aug 19 17 10:48:49 <justcool393> and then started spamming the subreddit | |
| Aug 19 17 10:48:54 <justcool393> and then when I banned it | |
| Aug 19 17 10:48:56 <justcool393> this happened | |
| Aug 19 17 10:49:39 <justcool393> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/335856129466695685/348306450516410369/unknown.png | |
| Aug 19 17 10:50:04 <twilexis> oh that one. I saw it on r/ModSupport before it was beaned | |
| Aug 19 17 10:50:11 <justcool393> what | |
| Aug 19 17 10:50:15 <justcool393> it was on ModSupport? | |
| Aug 19 17 10:50:16 <justcool393> wtf | |
| Aug 19 17 10:50:22 <twilexis> yep 😂 | |
| Aug 19 17 10:50:22 <XenoBen> Free sex is better than paid imo | |
| Aug 19 17 10:50:32 <justcool393> okay | |
| Aug 19 17 10:50:35 <justcool393> I need to see a link | |
| Aug 19 17 10:50:47 <justcool393> that's hilarious | |
| Aug 19 17 10:50:50 <twilexis> it'd be gone now, it was there earlier | |
| Aug 19 17 10:51:07 <justcool393> yeah I see | |
| Aug 19 17 10:51:12 <justcool393> it's shadowbanned now too | |
| Aug 19 17 10:51:32 <twilexis> sure way to get your sexbot banned is to spam it on a sub ran by admins XD | |
| Aug 19 17 10:52:42 <justcool393> yeah | |
| Aug 19 17 10:52:44 <justcool393> no doubt | |
| Aug 19 17 10:52:48 <justcool393> that's pretty funny though | |
| Aug 19 17 10:52:53 <justcool393> here was the PM it sent me | |
| Aug 19 17 10:52:54 <justcool393> https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/335856129466695685/348295574463971339/unknown.png?width=1442&height=421 | |
| Aug 19 17 10:53:23 <twilexis> hey justcool, post bussy | |
| Aug 19 17 10:53:50 <twilexis> that gets me so excited that i just can't help but to want to solicit sexual favours 😉 | |
| Aug 19 17 10:55:12 <justcool393> ikr | |
| Aug 19 17 10:55:13 <justcool393> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/335856129466695685/348304357059461140/unknown.png | |
| Aug 19 17 10:55:24 <twilexis> XD | |
| Aug 19 17 10:55:51 <justcool393> interestingly | |
| Aug 19 17 10:55:54 <justcool393> while it's shadowbanned | |
| Aug 19 17 10:56:13 <justcool393> whoever it was apparently knew about the profiles beta | |
| Aug 19 17 10:56:32 <justcool393> because going to their user page gives a "banned subreddit" message. | |
| Aug 19 17 10:57:32 <justcool393> so that's interesting | |
| Aug 19 17 10:57:45 <justcool393> I think they did it as a way to get around the restriction on subreddit creation. | |
| Aug 19 17 10:58:12 <twilexis> yeah i saw that too, i just assumed it was a profiles coding derp | |
| Aug 19 17 10:59:01 <justcool393> it seems to be that way | |
| Aug 19 17 10:59:12 <justcool393> because going to a banned user without a profile doesn't give the same message | |
| Aug 19 17 10:59:32 <justcool393> https://www.reddit.com/user/Laurelais_Hygiene | |
| Aug 19 17 10:59:43 <justcool393> it gives the normal 404 | |
| Aug 19 17 10:59:48 <twilexis> lol that name | |
| Aug 19 17 10:59:53 <justcool393> yeah | |
| Aug 19 17 10:59:58 <justcool393> they were notorious | |
| Aug 19 17 11:00:16 <twilexis> aww | |
| Aug 19 17 11:00:26 <twilexis> I just checked unidan's profile to see what it'd say and made myself sad | |
| Aug 19 17 11:00:41 <justcool393> still shadowbanned | |
| Aug 19 17 11:00:44 <justcool393> after all these years | |
| Aug 19 17 11:00:47 <twilexis> yep | |
| Aug 19 17 11:01:00 <justcool393> Unidan did nothing wrong. | |
| Aug 19 17 11:01:05 <justcool393> 😛 | |
| Aug 19 17 11:01:43 <twilexis> #Justice4unidan | |
| Aug 19 17 11:02:14 <justcool393> Deimorz did 6/18 | |
| Aug 19 17 11:02:28 <twilexis> 7/11 was a part-time job | |
| Aug 19 17 11:02:37 <justcool393> also true | |
| Aug 19 17 11:03:10 <justcool393> don't worry we still like you Deimorz despite commiting the worst atrocity known to reddit. I'm still slightly bitter about it | |
| Aug 19 17 11:03:20 <twilexis> uh | |
| Aug 19 17 11:03:26 <twilexis> what did he do? | |

| Aug 19 17 11:04:12 <justcool393> It pissed a lot of people off. | |
| Aug 19 17 11:04:14 <twilexis> ahh | |
| Aug 19 17 11:04:25 <justcool393> 14,000 comments on an announcements post was rare back then | |
| Aug 19 17 11:05:00 <justcool393> in fact, it was the largest of its time I think | |
| Aug 19 17 11:05:11 <twilexis> all those downvotes 😭 | |
| Aug 19 17 11:05:19 <justcool393> *?votes | |
| Aug 19 17 11:05:28 <twilexis> lol | |
| Aug 19 17 11:06:12 <justcool393> my downvote is still immortalized https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/281572589460127744/348422397038166017/unknown.png | |
| Aug 19 17 11:06:41 <justcool393> I think this is where I found SRD actually. | |
| Aug 19 17 11:06:47 <twilexis> XD | |
| Aug 19 17 11:07:04 <justcool393> then I went into metareddit, and then I retired to /r/Drama | |
| Aug 19 17 11:08:11 <justcool393> I will say though, I liked when reddit got angry over *this*. | |
| Aug 19 17 11:08:31 <justcool393> Like I'd much rather reddit get angry over this than... well, just look at /r/all. | |
| Aug 19 17 11:09:02 <twilexis> i try not to lol | |
| Aug 19 17 11:21:30 <justcool393> that's my point | |

| Aug 27 17 16:06:30 <BobCobble> Some of the other stuff isn't just the same thing over and over | |
| Aug 27 17 19:22:49 <justcool393> BobCobble seems less like a markov bot and more like you caught it when it updated. either that or it's using random.choice or something | |
| Aug 27 17 19:23:02 <justcool393> well | |
| Aug 27 17 19:23:04 <justcool393> actually | |

| Aug 27 17 19:23:29 <justcool393> it seemed to give up really quickly | |
| Aug 27 17 19:23:47 <BobCobble> I realised, they were quite a while ago but only just reported. Might have been when there was that bug where comments were sent loads of times? | |
| Aug 27 17 19:24:12 <justcool393> Was it replying to the same comment? | |
| Aug 27 17 19:25:15 <BobCobble> There were like 3 to one then some others had a few to them | |
| Aug 27 17 19:25:31 <BobCobble> They weren't all to one comment but not all separate | |
| Aug 27 17 19:26:21 <justcool393> hmm | |
| Aug 27 17 19:26:32 <justcool393> yeah I'm guessing either reddit or someone fucked up somewhere | |

| Sep 09 17 22:59:34 <yumyum36> Hey, there's a comment on one of the subs I moderate, where we can't approve it after he marked it as spam. | |
| Sep 09 17 22:59:44 <yumyum36> Are comments marked as spam unable to be approved? | |
| Sep 09 17 23:00:15 <Geo☆1088> it depends, there are certain filters set up by the admins which can't be overridden by mods | |
| Sep 09 17 23:00:34 <Geo☆1088> You'd have to admin mail the link and see what they say | |
| Sep 09 17 23:01:44 <yumyum36> It was removed by one of our moderators as "confirm spam" on accident. | |
| Sep 09 17 23:02:01 <yumyum36> And now, even he cannot approve it. | |
| Sep 09 17 23:02:13 <Geo☆1088> That doesn't sound normal... | |

| Sep 23 17 12:30:53 <Gleo> HI ALL NEW CLIENT IM BIG HACKER GOOD | |
| Sep 25 17 09:47:33 <Niezo> Two days late but... it reminds me of two comments I found in /r/Anxiety once. It got triggered by automod due to containing an email - and the comment claimed that it was an email of a wizard who would cast a spell for money to fix your relationship. | |
| We get a lot of scammers in /r/Anxiety for 'le perfect curezzz' but I was in complete disbelief over that one. Like, are you even trying to sound convincing? | |
| Sep 25 17 10:07:50 <Tealeaf> the purpose of an extremely idiotic scam is to reach the target audience of extremely gullible people | |
| Sep 25 17 10:10:31 <Tealeaf> scamming is a rather low-margin industry so people who make a living off it must be quite optimized in their effort to results ratio | |
| Sep 25 17 10:10:52 <Tealeaf> (or it could just be someone doing wizard LARP for giggles) | |

| Sep 25 17 15:51:37 <BobCobble> bad bot | |
| Sep 25 17 16:12:29 <justcool393> Geo☆1088 yumyum36 this is called a "hard-ban" (IIRC this is the term bitcrunch used). for domains that are known to violate the rules of reddit consistently or violate them in ways that are irredeemable, these domains will stick in the spam filter until you either "remove" or "spam" it. Approving them makes a mod log action, but the spam filter overrules it. | |
| Sep 25 17 16:15:08 <justcool393> I believe reddit also blocks these domains from being submitted on the submit page. You can make a message to ModSupport or admin mail, and they'll force approve it for you if it's alright. | |
| Sep 25 17 16:38:47 <Geo☆1088> That's what I thought | |

| Oct 17 17 17:58:29 <BobCobble> Just banned that one, cause we totally need more haiku bots. | |
| Oct 17 17 19:41:54 <justcool393> why are there so many goddamn haiku bots | |

| Oct 17 17 19:42:08 <justcool393> like this doesn't even make sense | |
| Oct 17 17 19:42:23 <Tealeaf> what about creating a modbot that will ban all comments that look like haikus | |
| Oct 17 17 19:42:30 <Tealeaf> like, fuck haikus | |
| Oct 17 17 19:42:37 <Tealeaf> fuck false positives, it's still a haiku | |
| Oct 17 17 19:44:14 <justcool393> haiku's apparently don't have to be 5-7-5 technically either so we just rem everything | |
| Oct 17 17 19:44:44 <Tealeaf> perfect | |
| Oct 17 17 19:44:54 <Tealeaf> reddit improves tremendously | |
| Oct 17 17 19:46:21 <Jernik> I wish I could ban most bots from reddit | |
| Oct 17 17 19:58:08 <Deimos> justcool393 I saw it make a "haiku" out of combining something that someone was quoting and their reply to it, it just looked like total nonsense | |
| Oct 17 17 20:02:06 <BobCobble> I've put this in automod and it's caught quite a few bots | |
| Oct 17 17 20:02:09 <BobCobble> ```yaml | |
| # experimental rule to find bots | |
| type: comment | |
| author: | |
| name (includes, case-sensitive): [Bot, _bot, _Bot, -bot, -Bot, bot] | |
| ~name: [clip_bot] | |
| action: report | |
| action_reason: "Possibly a bot account, this is experimental so tell bob if it's catching too much stuff." | |

| action_reason: "Possibly a bot account, this is experimental so tell bob if it's catching too much stuff." | |
| ---``` | |
| Oct 17 17 20:06:44 <Deimos> a bit risky since it would also hit people with a name including words like "bother", but yeah, that probably works pretty well | |
| Oct 17 17 20:07:20 <cuddlefishcat> well it does just report it | |
| Oct 18 17 00:44:42 <Boop> but maybe people want 26 bots that all do haikus on their subreddit | |

| Oct 18 17 16:34:55 <justcool393> or if you're lazy | |

| Oct 18 17 16:59:15 <mbetts> I use the old puush, which uploads it straight away as well | |
| Oct 18 17 16:59:28 <mbetts> I don't think you can get it anymore, as it's now combined with sharex | |
| Oct 18 17 17:03:39 <cuddlefishcat> I use cmd + shift + 4 | |
| Oct 19 17 19:11:18 <justcool393> by the way, this is good to know for those of you spam reporters: | |
| https://www.reddit.com/comments/77e86r/-/dola6ro/ | |
| Oct 19 17 19:35:50 <Deimos> so it sounds like all reports will just get an instant auto-response now, and then they'll only actually reply if they want more info or something? | |

| Oct 30 17 04:35:21 <justcool393> so it seems like a normal spam link | |
| Oct 30 17 04:35:28 <justcool393> but it is just an i.redd.it link | |
| Oct 30 17 04:38:50 <MajorParadox> Maybe the spam is from bing? | |
| Oct 30 17 04:44:58 <justcool393> I guess | |
| Oct 30 17 04:45:00 <justcool393> maybe | |
| Oct 30 17 04:45:09 <justcool393> but I also found these in our /about/spam | |

| Oct 30 17 05:23:46 <allthefoxes> its just SEO | |
| Oct 30 17 05:23:49 <allthefoxes> bad SEO | |
| Oct 30 17 05:31:43 <justcool393> that's probably the worst SEO if they're advertising /r/google | |
