#i hate these spam bots

[kingxfmischief]

[Had a new follower with a non spambot name, legit looking icon and header.

And they had no posts so I went to check if their likes were human. ...and their only likes were pro ana trash when I was already feeling shitty about my weight including talking about "maybe you wouldn't be suicidal if you were skinny".

Yeah most likely a bot but fuck that.]

Sweet Jesus, now the asexual tag is spammed by bots advertising supplements and other shit

I'M SO MAD

TUMBLR DO SOMETHING

[celestemagnoliathewriter]

Hey! Hey you! Does your profile picture look like one of these?

Is your header image the tumblr default? Does your blog still say "untitled"? Is your blog blank? If so, this message is for you!

There's been an uptick in empty blogs following me (and I assume most of you). I don't love spam bots/spam blogs, and neither should you. Therefore, before I start blocking spam blogs, consider changing SOMETHING about your blank Tumblr so it's easier to tell you're a human being.

Here are some cool free ideas for your new profile picture that will still hide your identity:

a picture of your favorite pasta noodle

a jaunty pirate

an actual pirate

a majestic seahorse

a fun-shaped eraser

anatomically correct illustrations of organs

a giant, cuddly microbe

a regional dish you want to try

an optical illusion

literally anything but the tumblr default icons

With the porn bots it was easier, just block the hot girl on sight and move on, but these empty blogs are annoying. Please, if everything about your blog is blank, just add something or change something to make it look like it's managed by a human person!

These ladies are breaking my fucking heart. These names are gold. How dare they do this to me? Making me report them as spam and block them? The wasted genius. It haunts me.

Zionist.

saying don't fall for scams does not make someone a zionist. tumblr asks are NOT actual calls for aid!

i was just going to delete this ask like i do all scam asks, but i figured id post it just in case other people are getting similar things for... not being gullible? for trying to stop other people from being scammed and sending their money to scammers instead of actual palestinians?

many people in palestine obviously need aid. an obvious bot sending thousands of messages to thousands of people asking for "aid" will not help those people. they aren't from actual victims. they're from random people who are weaponizing the kindness of strangers to make a buck. falling for it helps absolutely no one. critical thinking is even MORE important in a time like this, stop falling for this obvious shit! they're just like the ai porn bots. they're used by the same exact people for the same exact reasons, getting money off those who are gullible. they're scumbags who are weaponizing peoples empathy to make a buck off a genocide. stop. falling. for. it.

they're trying to take advantage of you. they're assuming you're too stupid to think critically about who you think you're helping. stop proving them right.

there are thousands of actual ways to donate to those in need that aren't tumblr ask scams!

Checking the ace tag for bots (basically a daily ritual at this point) and I think there's a new kind???

Like 80-90% of the posts are....clothes? Like, clothing ads with queer tags and other random stuff???

If it was juts from one blog, I think it would just be a weird blog, but it's from a lot???

[miicycle]

Can normal PEOPLE follow me for once, I'm getting so tired of the p*rn bots :')

IT IS YOUR DUTY, AS TUMBLERER TO FIGHT AGAINST THE PORN BOTS

I HOPE TO MAKE IT LOUD AND CLEAR

MAKE YOUR STATEMENT AGAINST THE BOTS, DEFEND YOUR HOME

Email from Ao3: new comment!

Me: YAY *opens email* OOH LONG COMM-- ah shit spam comment.

I forgot to lock the fic to registered users only again 😑

[currently-becoming-potatoes]

EGADS! It seems that you are now a pornbot! Your job is now to follow random blogs on Tumblr and message people weird things with a horny valley girl pfp! But wait- you need to convince people that you are an actual legitimate human. And the best way to do that is by generating a random description using this generator!

Share your new description to confirm to all of the internet that you are a real person!

(This is actually very me)

Tagging @themostslayingslayful @cleverclove @toothiscomatose @moonlarked @gayoticbeing @gabriel-shutterson @hoooshiiiii @skies-of-gray @arsonistman @a-portal-to-nowhere and whoever else I forgot to tag 💜💜💜
