As moderators, we'll need the ability to auto-block posts from certain sites and certain keywords.

Probably smarter. I'm up to 33 users blocked now. I was looking at the python API to see if I could automate my block list.

Those are rookie numbers, yada yada

Yeah, it looks like I'm going to have to temp block random as well. It's just a dearth of nsfw spam at this point.

I had one (edit: multiple accounts) with a gazillion nsfw threads linking to multiple redirects (something with guru, I ran them through an online scanner). My adblocker nuked them instantly though but there's potential malware behind them.

Random is completely swarmed right now

I successfully blocked all of them at the moment, but that's only good for me of course. I'm hoping the mods can find a moment to go through and block all of them. All were created yesterday, all are accounts from kbin.social and all have only been posting links with strange domains and badly written porn keyword titles.

My blocklist of these bots is copy/pasted below:

Click on the server name & block it for all time.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

The server is kbin.social. I think someone created a ton of bot accounts on it.
