Hey guys, it seems that a huge spam group that was active during the Vegas shooting news cycle has been ressurected. I've updated the old list of shit heads and bots, there's a lot of em. (ProtectVoat)

( Original OP of list: /u/brandon816 )

I've added and updated the original list of faggot chatbots and the cunts that seem to control them:

Chatbots. All of them. Check the other thread referenced in the OP and look at the common usernames. https://voat.co/v/news/2191150

Most of the time, the bots just post their insane rubbish, rarely does whoever controls these bots actually use them to post coherent responses to people and by that I mean replying to comments with a sentence that makes sense. BUT, when they do, they do it to try and play off that they aren't bots or that the only way people (like myself) can track them is because I have a magical list of IP's associated with them or somesuch nonsense. It's pretty easy to spot these bots, no need for tech wizardry, version 1.0 eyeball is all that's needed.

The list of bots associated with this user:

Same naming schemes for most of them. Most of them have been shitposting in v/pizzagate, v/politics, v/news, more and more non-sensical garbage like this. Many of them also occasionally post a random comment alerting some random list of users. My guess is they are clearly trying to forum slide here now, with this Hollywood shit going on. Anyway, downvote any nonsensical posts or comments like that on sight if you want the spam ended.

I'm going to continue adding to this list as necessary.

Other times this group has been called out:

Other recent examples of nonsensical posting in v/news and v/politics:

They also seem to congregate around several subs owned by /u/TheHolyGrail.

NEW AUGUST 1ST 2018 BOTS/BOT OWNERS ADDED TO THE LIST

Update August 1st 2018 - They're spamming Hollywood Pedo shit now. as well as submissions to /v/music

Just like like last time, many of the bots on the list will reply short comments in the posts made by other bots making it pretty simple to spot if a post is made by these punks. Just parse a username with the list. They seem to be using all the same 10-12 month old accounts as they did back in 2017 during the Vegas shooting.

One cannot safely surf Voat without suspecting half of the people of being bots and shills.

We certainly are a bunch of paranoid assholes. Not even @atko is above suspicion. Actually we may be more suspicious of him than anyone else.

It's actually insane that groups would target a site like this for manipulation.

something_went_wrong ago

Insane, but still a fact of life. Any forum-based website with 1 user will likely see bots sliding into conversations all the time.

cthulian_axioms ago

I don't think it's insane. If they're targeting this website, then we must have done something to piss them off. Like exposing people to the truth (inasmuch as anything can really be true nowadays).

coopzy ago

That's whats surprising to me. That the truth is actively being censored and pushed down. In my mind I knew it happened, but I think I finally accepted it seeing this list again.

I’m disturbed by it and AI posing as people in general
