LAVA Spam and Upgrades

[Rolf Kalbermatter]

They finally found out how to spam every single subforum at least once in a night.

And now I'm seeing NSFW spam.  Seriously, until things get fixed, all new signups should be blocked.

That was regularly true in the past, some of the callgirl spam so far was already NSFW.

I have opted to custom uBlock filters for certain keywords and specific user accounts to hide those entries from the activity stream. Not a perfect solution but it makes the page somewhat usable... at least I don't have to see that wall of crap all the time.

Yeah, but when the picture are suddenly in the "Unread Content" stream, it makes it a lot harder to ignore.

Well, yes. There is only so much we can do on the client side.

It also appears that some of the bots have recently figured out how to reply to their own posts. It is probably just a matter of time before our notification areas get bombarded...

One other odd side effect is I've seen several reports that are clearly bots, that think it is a reply system. The report will be a normal spam message but reporting some content. So at least those ones only I need to deal with and you won't see.  Sorry again about all this.  I have talked to the site admin again emphasizing the severity, and frequency.
