Kbin Pornbot alert - looks like a number of bot accounts have taken up residence on kbin and are spamming /m/random with porn
(media.kbin.social)
Looks like we've had a wave of porn bots hit recently. Screenshot is a sampling of what's popping up on my threads feed when sorted by new.
A heads up to @ernest and to folks with magazines that might get hit by these guys. Looks like they're submitting from a couple of different domains, so it's difficult to block them from the user side, and some admin action might be necessary.
EDIT: ernest has removed the accounts and content, looks like all is well.
Click on the server name & block it for all time.
I would, but it's not just one server they're submitting - they're pushing multiple domains.
That being said, I think I've reported and blocked all of them, and my feed is clear now - there were about 20 - 30 accounts in total. This indicates that someone manually set them up by going through Kbin's login process - if they had built a bot that could hack the login, we'd probably see numbers in the hundreds.
Block the each user, there's about 6 or 7, all on kbin.social, job done..
I found a bit more than that, but yeah, it was a manageable number on my end to clean the feed.
