Are you getting that annoying "Buy Art from Me" spam on your AO3? Here is what to do

First - if you are a real non-spam person asking folks to commission art by commenting on their fics on AO3.. please do not do that. That is a violation of the TOS.

Second - We are working on filtering it out, and you can help! Below the cut is info on identifying the spam comments, and then how to report them in the most effective way!

So we can stop this flood of spam.

(Details from PAC are below the Read More)

How to identify it - 1. Comments are left by registered accounts 2. Usually, the comments are on works that have just been posted or updated 3. The comment may provide very specific compliments about the work, and if challenged, the commenter will firmly deny being a bot or scammer 4. The key identifier is that in the comment itself, or in a follow-up to any reply to the comment, the spammer will always do at least one of these two things: - Offer to create art for the work, or say that they are an artist interested in working with you - Ask if they can speak with you on another platform (they may provide their own contact details for other platforms, such as Discord, Artstation, or Instagram)

THE BEST WAY TO REPORT IT 1. Select the 'Thread' button on the comment so that you're viewing the comment's direct page 2. Scroll to the bottom and select the "Policy Questions & Abuse Reports" link 3. In the "Brief summary" field, put "spam comment" 4. In the "Description" field, put "This is a spambot" and then "The account name is [whatever account name]" – this will ensure it gets sorted correctly - Please only include 1 account in your report – if you see another, then please file a new report - Please don't re-report accounts you've already reported

What AO3 is doing about this - 1. We're implementing several measures to try and stop these spammers from making new accounts, but unfortunately, some are going to slip through our fingers 2. Fortunately, it is very easy for us to get rid of this type of spam and prevent the account from posting more – so long as it is reported to us in the correct fashion. If our auto-sorter detects the keywords in your report that will file it into our "suspected spam" folder, then it's easy for our volunteers to quickly check and handle it

Thrill Seekers

Konner Kent: Okay, we're high up, but you just gotta jump-

Tim (Red Robin): Let's go!

Red Robin jumped out of the plane, not wearing the parachute, but holding it in one hand.

Nightwing fell backwards holding the parachute against his chest.

Jason walked out like the plane was on the ground, holding the parachute like it was a lunch bag.

Donna (impressed): Thrill seekers, freaking thrill seekers I swear.

Kon: Is that a qualification for getting adopted by Bruce?

Donna shrugged with a smile and jumped out next with Konner.

i vote that next year instead of reading Dracula we do a Jeeves & Wooster Book Club. those two never got the rabid tumblr shipping fandom they deserved (disqualified for the sheer technicality of being published a century too soon). we must correct this injustice

I love how everyone uses the metaphorical comparison of ao3 maintenance to war period

[ironhoshi]

I love how even more unhinged this site gets when ao3 goes down. I hope you all survive.

This shouldn't need to be said, but fanfic writing should be treated like a community and not competition

Fanfiction is great because I'm a greedy slut that wants it all. Nothing you could ever give me in a TV show would achieve the high I get when I've got 13 au's all on the go at once with bonus fanart on the side, like the most luxurious multiple course meal with wine pairings curated just to my taste

Sneeg: [Silly voice] I dunno if I can play on this server anymore, I dunno– I don't want anything gay in here. That's woke. /j 😒

Phil: [Mimicking his silly voice] You're too woke for me.

Sneeg: I don't gel with that.

Fit: Yeah, I don't play on gay servers, now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go read some Trump/Biden yaoi fanfiction on Tumblr. Alright? Like a real fckin man! 🇺🇸🦅

Sneeg: [Trump voice] I love kissing– [unintelligible] I love kissing Joey on the lips. They're so succulent!

Phil: [Cracking up]
