Russian Bots
« on: May 27, 2018, 08:38:43 PM »
Hi everyone,


You may have noticed that there have occasionally been Russian bots posting stuff on our walls. Recently, the New York Times and other news sources have been talking about a massive Russian hack and malware that have been put on home routers. I suspect that these odd messages are related.


Please let me know as soon as you see them so that I can do my weeding before it gets out of control. Thanks!

Thanks! We saw one earlier today. Tapatalk updated something that I think has to do with this.

I hope there is a "permanent" fix for these bots! I wonder how they found this little forum community that doesn't pop up in search engines! Much... :o

Russian Bot alert! Our latest member looks suspicious. The first 4 letters are the same as another bot. And the location is Russia itself! Here's the member name Maximayzov

I didn't see any posts by this "member". I just want to be cautious.

There's a few suspicious members, but I don't take action unless I see them posting stuff.

A number of new fake accounts were coming in. Because of this I made it so that you need to confirm registration from your email account. Hopefully this will slow down the spamming and keep these forums in working order for everyone.

When I joined these new forums, I thought I had to enter one of those spam proof things. Those are fun! I don't see how a robot could get passed those!
