Bot invasion...

namely this:
http://www.althanas.com/world/showthread.php?23646-The-magical-teleportation-shower...&p=192055#post192055

is someone able to save the author of the thread from this terrible foe?

[Jack Frost]

Damnit my extra accounts first threads being hijacked!

Oh well, if it pursues I'll get the admin on it...

[Elrundir]

If only I had mod powers in Underwood. :(

[Sagequeen]

Got it. ^^ I was just on 30 minutes before it posted, thanks for the head's up.

[Jack Frost]

Out of curiosity, don't we have some sort of filter to prevent that? I thought the site had a hack that meant you couldn't post on certain forums unless you had "permission" which could be granted by RoG mods after approval of characters...

[SirArtemis]

it might not have been a bought. it might have just been some new person who didn't know the rules.

I think we do have a filter for most things, but I guess sometimes someone does it manually with a copy and paste...

Also, Artie, you can tell because:
1: Their response made no sense
2: The links in their profile lead to discounts on peanut butter AND male endowment enhancement pills, with a deal for a tropical tour on a cruise ship.

>_>... pretty sure it's a bot, or a very odd troll.

EDIT:
further example, this bot's profile (http://www.althanas.com/world/member.php?15840-chadwick44):

Hell yes, neon signs!

[Sagequeen]

I looked at the profile, and the sig was filled with ad links.

Bot.

Out of curiosity, don't we have some sort of filter to prevent that? I thought the site had a hack that meant you couldn't post on certain forums unless you had "permission" which could be granted by RoG mods after approval of characters... We do have filters, though I don't know exactly what their parameters are. But anyway, no filter is perfect and you'll always run the risk of the odd bot getting through.
