How To Report a Spambot

[Wyboth]

That's what I've been thinking. Mods and ops can see it, builders and non-ranks can't. I can, and I'm a recruit. Probably the recruit rank is able to see it because Optical forgot to disable it for that rank. Which brings me to another question: why disable it for non-staff? They're the ones who it's intended for.

I started seeing it when I was a moderator.

[Wyboth]

Ok, I think it's safe to conclude that non-ranked players, builders, and crafters cannot see it, and recruits, moderators, operators, and admins can. For those who can see it, the button is useful.

You guys are silly. You can see it on other players, But obviously you don't see the "Report to moderator" button on yourself.

Wyboth, the picture you uploaded was a screenshot of your own post without a "Report to moderator".

Its not really a big deal. Mods/ops can jut delete them when they get to it. Some staff member is bound to do it eventually, so the reporting isnt really necessary.

Are you kidding? The one where I said "I see them"? It's very clearly marked in that picture.

Yeah, but it might speed up the process a little. I don't know. This evolved more into a "I can't find the button!" thread than a "Is it necessary?" thread.

My bad, I got confused between your & clawstrider's posts.

Stop arguing and look at novembera top voters for a sec! D:
Btw wyboth, werent you an op at 1 point?

No, but everyone thinks I was. Also, how is this an argument?

Just something, It's impossible to ban them all. They only keep their thread up for a few minutes before deleting it themselves.

If you IP track them, they are all from some building in china. And no, They aren't bots. They are real Chinese people.

For example, Chinese prisoners are sometimes forced to play world of Warcraft for 11 hours a day, every day.

Now this may seem really awesome, but... They are forced to fly around, all day, mining. That's all they do! They just go around, mining all the nodes, and then they sell them to HordeWalmart in the auction house, They make a lot of money, THEN, the send the money to another account, and from that account they sell the currency for like 1$ per 1000g.

Are... you... kidding?

spammers pay eastern european labor workers to solve captchas all day, doesn't matter what kind of captcha system is used since a human is solving them. recaptcha does a pretty good job.

Being forced to play WoW...that's pretty cruel.

[Wyboth]

I read the article tabooti posted, so I'm clear on the Chinese WoW PoW camps. That being said, could we keep it on-topic from here on out? That would be much appreciated.

[SalsaInABowl]

It was originally a helpful article...now it's more of a General Discussion

how is this a "helpful article" if only a fraction of the server can use it?

[SalsaInABowl]

Because then that helpful fraction could use it to help the other helpful fraction.
