    That's all most forums can do.

    I see spambots on most official forums for video games. Sometimes they even have a code that has them create topics that are seemingly on topic even though they're spambots. Y'know, trying to make them look more "real."

  • Yea, some of the coding for them works well. Would work out better for the creators if they didn't have the bots spamming the same link/line a hundred times in the same post.

    They are computer programs that can surf the web looking for websites to troll(Or they can be told to target a website by the programmer). Then they register and just post spam and troll everywhere, usually advertising a website or something. You may have noticed the posts about movies around here, that would be from the spam bots.

  • Oh I see. Why would they want to troll this community? Do they have beef with TTG's?

  • Thread's been closed. And I meant a Private Conversation, not Communication. I've flogged myself as punishment.

    The thing is, you can flag threads all you like, but unfortunately the flag log is... well, broken.And very, very full. Which means that if you flag a thread/post... we won't see it's been flagged. Which is why I ask you to send us a PC instead - we can see those and respond to them MUCH quicker.
