Voting Bots on CD?
Edited by Andy added image below - Image of spam I clean up hourly.
Noxter, This is a global spammer who used IP spoofing to prevent us from completely locking them out. We are able to trap all of their traffic and quarantine it. Then I go through all of it line by line to delete the spam and release anything that gets caught in quarantiine that shouldn't have. I can't explain the process we use to quarantine or they could circumvent it. Right now I just consider it a good stress test on the system. Andy 3

You can't vote unless you've written arguments, so they're not voting bots. My guess would be that they are fake accounts used to try to make it look like the site is more active than it actually is. Most of the time there are only one or two real users logged in at a time, which might make new people who are visiting the site think this place is a ghost town, so they just move on. Maybe Andy (the site owner) will give us an explanation. |
