Voxera118424yPeople that want to get noticed I assume.
In stead of phishing for upvotes directly they upvote or reply to others posts and have their name plastered all over.
Just like tagging a subway wagon. -
@24th-Dragon yeah there was two bots going around. God-of-newbies and -assmaster. GON was really bad. They upvotes all your comments to avoid detection (it would still say 0 upvotes on their profile). They spammed hard too. When they got smacked by the ban hammer it fucked my notifications.
About two hours later this new bot started and fucked my notifications over AGAIN. -
Assmaster gonna be fucked hard hmm
Also had 99+, then nothing, then again some and both got banned. -
Bibbit7414yI already wondered why I couldn't see the notifications from that account...
Time to automatically detect bot activity? :)
Another upvote bot get fucked?
@-assmaster had something like 7.5k upvotes (outgoing, not personal score) and now has 0.
Wtf with the upvote bots? Who keeps think that's a good idea?
