    Looks like re-reg trolling. Poster was banned too.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 1,426 Mod ✭✭✭✭slade_x


    no mods currently online that can clean up the forum as of yet unfortunately

    Looks like he/she is back. What a clown.

    My mistake. Someone just replied to him in a thread.

    Why? WHY would they do that?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,587 ✭✭✭DunnoKidz


    and it continues..... appears to be some sort of advert-type... repeats names over and over, according to google translate


    Edit: be safe on your phones, in case this is the deal.............. (quoted from future post)
    I suspect this might be more sinister than it appears - there are a number of characters from Asian languages which have recently been causing certain smartphone operating systems to incessantly boot-loop. I can't help wondering if some of the symbols embedded in the strings being posted are designed to f*ck with peoples' phones.

    am wondering if it may be a bit more invasive than simple trolling...

    Looks like a multiple bot accounts spamming the Health Sciences forum.

    Looking that way. And only in the health sciences forum


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,717 ✭✭✭YFlyer

    It's going to be some clean up at this rate for mods

    Massive delete fest for the mods.

    well done warrior wolfmod!

    I like spammers slightly less than I like trolls. Trolls can be funny.

    It reminds me of Ed Sheeran releasing multiple "singles" to take over the music charts.....or maybe not.

    Just figured out that all the spammers are accounts across the internet posting this same nonsense on every discussion site they can find. Goes back a few months.

    Same names, same sites, same garbage. That is a botnet attack intended to make folks buy new mobile devices(in my opinion at least)

    Auto generated accounts registering and spamming from Korea. Currently looking into a tech solution to block it at source.

    Causes a right mess to clean up. I’ve banned over 100 accounts this morning alone, a good few before they’ve even posted.

    Good suggestion, we might do that until we have a better fix in place. Thanks!

    Aw, what a blast from the past. Those threads were weird.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,926 ✭✭✭Grab All Association


    Boards should require new registrants to confirm theyre real via standard rate sms. It would cut down on the number of re-regs and stop bots entirely. Allow new users from outside the EU to access international forums only until they confirm their identity

    Two Arts and Crafts forums one goes straight to Adverts.
