#ban the bots

[atrociousrat]

Hey, @staff. Get the porn bots out of ace tags. They don't wanna see that shit.

Actually scratch that NO ONE wants to see that shit.

If you support the aro/ace communities, be a dear and make your own posts about this issue so that tumblr gets the message already. It's fucking ridiculous that the staff hasn't done anything about it yet.

@staff

i can't believe i have to make this post again, but god damnit, do something about the fucking bots. They're not our responsibility to manage

Also reminder!! They are minors on this site!!! Myself included!!!

BAN THE BOTS

[whydidisavethistomyphone]

I’m not racist but…

If you look like these guys and try following my blog you’re getting blocked

[mrmegamanfan]

Alright @staff @support do you need proof? This is the bulls—t I’m talking about. Same format with the same style of enticement photo and profile emojis for every bot, every single time. For all I know they could be AI generated. Either way it’s GD annoying that you use an “opt out” system where we have to accept followers first, then block the bots, rather than asking us to APPROVE a request to follow them being able to turn it down before they even start. @staff @staffs-secret-blog @tumblrbot @tumblr Who do I have to talk to to get you to do something about this f—kery?

oh no the bots are coming back

[arcanedragoness]

ALL PORN, CRYPTO, OR OTHER BOTS WILL BE REPORTED AND BLOCKED!

I just had to delete a whole slew of them. Please tumblr, this has been a problem for years I don’t want to delete my account!

Massivegui started following me...

"My gui is massive, son!"

[madewithspice]

I really didn't understand all the porn bot memes after being off Tumblr for a few months but y'all.... I have at least 3 following me and I think I'm starting to understand

Lmaoo what… what are you understanding? 👀🫣🧐

[cryptid-of-theforest]

so upset by it.

team fortress 2 finally getting rid of the bots after 5 years

work on the team fortress 2 comic continuing after 7+ years

half life 3 development looking more likely than ever with legitimate code, file, and voicework leaks referencing a new non-VR single-player game from valve featuring a HEV suit wearing protagonist and Xen creatures and concepts

shoutout to the valve fan that found the genie lamp. you a real one

[silence-l]

Am I blocking bots every day? Yep. Does the odd Twitter migrant cop the hammer because they had a selfie as a profile pick and hadn’t finished setting up their account? Maybe. Do I feel bad? My brother in Christ I weep for them

[zemossunshine]

I get so excited thinking I have a new follower and it's just another bot

[theultimatebafoon]

on my knees begging pleading sweating profusely and crying to an ugly degree positioned like a baby girl if you will with both hands together praying to an non existent God™ to THE GODS OF THIS WEBSITE TO DO SOMETHING WITH THE P0RN BOTS BECAUSE I SWEAR IT'S BECAUSE OF THAT THAT I BEEN ABSENT FROM HERE. AND TUMBLR IS MY HOME LAND. MY SAFE PLACE. MY SHRINE.

[whydidisavethistomyphone]

The latest botpocalypse is over!

I haven’t had to block a bot for the last hour

Nearly 2000 bots in the last 4 days, it was getting insane

This is what I was dealing with every time I opened tumblr 😭

I have actually been sick the last 3 days as well so hopefully now I can start getting back to finding you guys some memes as well as making them 🥳

how to successfully report and remove your stolen fic on c.ai:

aka don't use fics for c.ai bots... a story of a c.ai creator who fucked around & found out:

for any other author who gets their shit stolen by ai bots on c.ai this is what you need to do:

create an c.ai account

submit a support ticket

choose DMCA & Counter Notice as the issue

under "additional information" you must provide the following: — a description of your fic that is being infringed (where you published it, date, where you post, under what names, etc) — a description of the bot that is infringing your work (include name of bot, what parts it is infringing and author's name at minimum). — a statement that you are the copyright holder have not authorized use of your property/fic in this manner nor given it to the author of the bot.

you will have to give your contact info including your full legal name, address and telephone number

provide the link to your original work (where you published it first) and the link to the bot.

Attachments (up to 5 allowed): — IMPORTANT: make sure at least one of these attachments is an electronic signature using your full legal name. i used this site to get one for free (i attached both signed and typed). — the other attachments I used to show proof of my fic vs their bot and the exact word for word similarities. and also when they blatantly said they were reuploading the bot on their profile which is likely why c.ai banned the rest of their bots.

extra tips:

if your ticket submission is successful you will get an email with a ticket number.

c.ai is pretty responsive (1-2 business days) so i would give it that long before submitting a new ticket.

you must submit EVERYTHING as I have wrote it or they will ask you to resubmit an entirely new ticket. following up with missing info did not work.

if the bot gets reuploaded you still have to submit an entirely new ticket (make sure to save and reference your old ticket number in new ticket).

everything i wrote here can be found under their tos in the DMCA section

hope this helps others authors. feel free to inbox or msg with any questions.

I’m being attacked by bots

The bots won’t leave me alone I been blocking all of them I feel like they’re out to get me. The bots don’t die they multiply. I get so happy when someone follows me and when I check out the account it’s another bot it’s so annoying.
