Bot comments?

Ivy Author

The Wonderfools seems to be full of bot comments. New accounts with no history, all making very similar comments praising the actors. https://kisskh.at/768853-the-b-team

For example:

https://kisskh.at/profile/15942894/comments

https://kisskh.at/profile/Fiore26/comments

https://kisskh.at/profile/15941750/comments

The comments are not against the TOS and didn't break any rules.

They seem to be fairly obvious spam? I counted at least 13 accounts all created in March, all making the exact same type of comments for a whole week or more 2 months ago. Sure the comments are a bit of a scroll away now but you're telling me this kind of obvious bot spam isn't against ToS? It should be.

At the moment, this does not appear to violate our TOS, so it would be considered a low-priority issue. That said, we do still review reports carefully and will take action when necessary.

You’re welcome to report the comments, and the team will look into them when possible. We’re currently handling a high volume of reports, so some cases may take longer to review than others.

Can I give you a list of the nearly 50 suspected bot accounts I've just found or would you rather I report all the suspected bot comment individually? All accounts were opened around March 8-10, all make similar comments on Wonderfools, all have not been active since the end of March and have no other activity except to maybe add Cha Eun Woo dramas to their list.

Side note: I think we should have the option to report accounts not just comments. Though I can see how that might get misused on this site.

I probably won't bother reporting all the comments. They are 2 months down in the comment section and not worth my time or yours maybe 100 comments. But I am going to list the bot accounts here for posterity because holy crap.

Sorry, I won’t have time to handle these kinds of cases. People spam us all the time, often with a huge list of users, and some users do abuse the system.

We do have a better reporting system coming soon, which should help reduce the team’s workload.

My suggestion is to just report them, as it does help raise the visibility of the account and its reputation with the moderation system.

Is there some way to mitigate this kind of bot army creation on the site? Seems like it would cut down on a lot of work for you guys. I mean that's insane!

It’s really hard nowadays, as they mask themselves pretty well. We’ll add more measures as we go.

Good luck! I'll go ahead and close this. Might report those comments when I get a bored, lol.
