ok i accepted invites, i think you should also set s/SaiditCanary to read-only(restricted)
Can I mod s/chatgpt? Edwards alt account is a mod of that sub, and there's spam posts on there that need to be removed.
You’re such a good boy! (Thanks for your work.)
Alright I asked 4 different people to mod the 7 most spammed subs
You do a great job, thanks!
Ok I invited you to mod some of those subs
This nig crying
For fuck's sake, Maggy. We need more admins!
I asked u/magnora7 to be a mod, and was made a mod of s/News where I clobber the spammers.
Ask u/magnora7 to be a mod for those subs; mainly s/TechSec, s/Introductions, and s/SaiditCanary/, and hopefully you can remove them yourself.
yep - need more mods
or perhaps the few active users who aren't evil as admins
yep - need more mods
there are 112 links in this post and more than 100 links in s/TechSec/ reporting this amount posts using report button would take a lot of time
Reporting them as spam is more helpful to mods.
lol it's literally at the bottom of every page (did you try looking?)
Let's take the power back by shitposting for 24 hours
Yes, that will bring the powerful to their knees.
singapore, india, phillipines do not speak english
Is this a joke?
You have no idea what languages are spoken in those countries, do you?
(No, don't open a new tab to Wikipedia, cheater)
Leave some young girls for the rest of us.
hey u/detty, what's up?

Can you like take your medicine and stop bothering young girls?
makes sense
so you admit it
Cool, good idea. Looks like he did ~130 spam posts in 18 days, and ~30 in the last 2 days. So I dunno, maybe he doesn't belong as part of the aforementioned shill group, but it's a spam account nonetheless.
Two sides of the same coin, imo
TitsAndWhiskey is a different person, not a spammer.
That's the relatively harmless incel Yabbit. He can be annoying but I don't think he's trying to wreck the sight like Edward wants.
https://saidit.net/user/Drewssam
A little more than that. BTW, I'm u/Zapped. I created this account to comment and post to keep separation between moderation and interaction.
For weeks, yes, posting once or twice a day, to age the account. Then in the last 2 days, posted 15 times to spam up the place. Many of the accounts I listed have a similar pattern.
It may be a spammer who also likes to troll around here, but Drewssam, for instance, is one of the biggest spammers here for weeks.
> wong
You can't answer the question because you know you're a trolling idiot who happens to be wong.
Yeah I think sneako and ed are very likely the same person, one disappeared right as the other arrived, and they do the exact same thing. Just more fake personas among hundreds of fake personas, but at this point it's not really fooling anyone. They use the exact same playbook of attack methods, and that always gives it away. :)
Nah, what the fuck is wrong with you, socky boy
How?
(and wtf's wrong with you?)
Yep
I misspelled the username.
I meant: yabbit, who was Sneako and TitsAndWhiskey, and supposedly 211, and perhaps others. Two users have pointed this out to me.
Except it does
So you're just going to bypass that conversation entirely since you were proven wrong?
Your next question was answered here: https://saidit.net/s/SaidIt/comments/bmg6/request_update_saiditnet_canary/14we5
Where's the canary?
If you actually comb through it, it becomes clear it's the same person, there's a few obvious giveaways. Shame a person would waste so much time and energy like that, instead of doing something useful or building a skill.
That doesn't make sense, moron.
I previously thought he was Ed, but was shown a few days ago that 211 et al. is actually yabbut (sp?) [edit: yabbit]. I can say more about yabb[i]t if that will help. (I think he's potentiallly South Asian, but in the US. Works in IT. I don't know about the usernames above.
That user (which is probably a bot) ONLY posts links to the blog they are trying to promote... it's blogspam
Yes they have tons of reserve accounts they bust out once a month or something, but then when they want to go crazy all these come out of the woodwork to do 10 posts a day suddenly
It's this person: https://saidit.net/s/whatever/comments/cmai/so_can_we_get_the_tiny_rocket_jerking_faggots_who/15vt1
Who is very likely to be ed
Like I said, we already did, and it was much worse.
Can you read?
Some of those have been spamming this place for weeks.
Socks is a bootlick, you should know better.
The two happiest days of a boat owner's life: the day you buy the boat, and the day you sell the boat.
BOAT is an acronym for Bring Over Another Thousand.
Like I said let's test that theory, that's how you prove facts. Obviously it's not stopping bots and it's absurd to have this any website.

This one seems legit but I am not familiar with the goings-on here.
Man fuck that guy, he has tried his damndest to fuck this site up,
I comment on the ethereal sadness of it all,
But fuck that fucking asshole.
That's not Ed though.
Yes and it seems to be a manual spammer that occasionally uses the scripts. I am almost certain he would be 1 step ahead of these lists, because the lists form in reaction to the activity which is always first, and his IPs are not limited to any range and change with each request. It's whack-a-mole
These are all the spam accounts that suddenly activated TODAY after one of 3 of his main accounts got banned. I noticed any time I take action against one of the main shill accounts, he hits the spam button really hard.

That is the benefit to using these actively maintained lists is that some other bot or person is updating the lists but yea it is never going to be perfect. Especially if it is a manual spammer. Should help against big bot spam scripts though.
It's a fact, thankfully facts don't care about your doubt.
or too dead to spam us.
Not fair
Eddie had a low cost boat home before Janice that he could afford on his disability checks, even if he had to shit in a 5 gallon bucket.
Now he's homeless again and the only way he's going to be able to find a place is with roommates.
On the bright side, he's too busy or too dead to spam us.
Trying to give a ride to a fat activist on the way was a terrible idea. The boat sank.
Doubt that, I suspect you can't if you wanted to.
Thank you. I wish it was 1997 again and we didn't have this insane AI botspam problem to deal with, it's really doing a number on text forums across the internet. It has created so many problems for people trying to communicate.
We did, 3 months ago, and it went terribly and made it clear to everyone why we need it.
Thank you for defending free speech.
As a wise man once said, "GOD IS DEAD! YOU'RE ALIVE!" Ergo, ipso facto, Satan is dead too. Sad really, because Satan is responsible for some great music.
This is one of the reasons why I hang out on https://matrix.gvid.tv instead now.
Let's test that theory.
The poor canary had a sad and lonely death, squatters took over the household and starved it while they plucked it's feathers out one by one.
In the end the squatters nailed it to a cross and let the housecats attack it while the squatters praised the cats and ridiculed the poor bird.
The squatters never had a funeral, they just threw the canary in the toilet and flushed it down. Then the squatters gave the house cats the same treatment.
The squatters never left and have now taken over the neighborhood, there are no pets left in the neighborhood and they plan to start attacking the other inhabitants of the neighborhood. They will pick on the weak ones first, like all bullies do. Eventually there will be no original inhabitants left.
The squatters are the virus that start all wars and imprison those that refuse to play their games. They now run this Saidit neighborhood that once supported freedom of speech but it now just a data collection point for the three-letter agencies.
R.I.P. Saidit Canary
anti-censorship site: bans users from censorship prone area of the world. I get the point your trying to make but i think you are missing the real issue. Its the ratio of user content to bot content. Everywhere you go you will find bot content. Its so prominent here because of how little legit content is making bot content stand out more.
not really any way to fix this
They just keep taking on different IP addresses until they find one that works. I actually built a system that auto-detects spam accounts and blocks their IP, but they change IP literally every single request, to a completely different IP in a different country. It's indistinguishable from regular traffic, especially since so many saidit users use vpns. It's a good idea, but at best it would only reduce the spam by half at most, and probably only for a few months until they find IPs that work and then it'll be back to normal. I used to block huge IP ranges and whole countries back 4 years ago or so, but it literally did nothing after a few days. The person or group generating most of the spam can mimic any IP address, they're not just using VPNs. Literally the only solution seems to be to look at what they post and ban them for that, but that's exactly the game of whack-a-mole we've been doing for months.
Most forums get around this by having paid staff that reviews all new things posted and they hand out user bans constantly. We have volunteers working at their leisure... which means we will never be able to control the spam unfortunately. It is what it is.
You think it's bad now, it's 10x worse with it off
Then they will just use USA VPNs and be right back at it in a few hours, and we will have blocked a lot of the global freedom of speech this site is intended for. So I don't see this as being a positive move in the long run, but I appreciate the idea.
If by soldiers of satan you mean the kiwi farms doxer/stalker/swatter bunch of monsters, you are correct. :D They're probably also the reason for a warrant. Although, this would be needed to verify a range of IP addresses someone would tend to use around the time of a crime they're trying to prove, which would be essential if they're using a set of proxies. Generally the crime would be severe enough to justify the time, effort, irritation, and cost to connect all the data points.
The good news is, modern forensics is good enough that you can amass a ton of data on a prolific swatter/doxer, and put the little shit away for 5-10 years on the first go round. Darknet Diaries goes into how a lot of these people got busted. Mainly because they think this is the 90s, and the cops are clueless. Mostly true, until you've got enough crime associated to your range of names and voice print/hash to draw in the big guns.
Press "F" to pay respects.
Bless your heart.
I guess it depends what they are focused on. If they're watching for stuff like csam or terrorists plotting to bomb or shoot people, that is fine - in fact I would be willing to help just out of principle. If they're just harrassing people or meddling with corporate/political astroturfing then not ok.
I like tor, but it often gets stuck in endless.captcha or blocked by so many sites.
You can try block some of the known lists which are maintained. That can help + the country blocks. Also if you have pfsense and anti-ddos protection it can help against ddos if you have enough bandwidth like at ovh for example.

ditto
And always look at what the canary said, what it did not, it said govts hadn't contacted magnora, not mentioning private corporations, and of course now they stopped doing that, magnora lost control of the site and someone else posts with his username, definitely not same person
I'm against blocking Tor, because I'm using it here.
It has been talked about and it appears to have served its purpose.
I second this.
Here is a quick procedure on how to do it.
On my site I block China, Korea North, Ukraine, Russian Federation, Tor, Brazil, Singapore
There is a drop down list of countries that make it easy, once you figure out who to block.
Yes, even the free accounts :)
Cloudflare lets you do that?
u/magnora7 that sounds like a fantastic idea to me.
Because it's obviously schizo nonsense.
And because this place is now infiltrated with the soldiers of satan.
Be nice to your FBI agent.
I can only assume it's because they did at some point receive a subpoena, court order, national security letter or something of the sort. I'm not particularly concerned since I assume the government is watching on any clearnet website anyway.
Appreciate that!
I can read between the lines.
That should be pinned to the top of that forum. :/
I try to ban anyone who's spamming ads in the forums I moderate, but that info doesn't get cross-referenced to the other forums. It would be useful if it were.
I offered quite a while back to pay for someone to program some better site-wide moderation tools, but it seems Mag7 doesn't trust giving anyone that level of access to the site lest it get hijacked like Reddit. And since D3rr is gone, we don't have anyone to turn to on the technical front.
When you ban them they make different names and then you have to find them again.
This is why Phooey quit and Vulptex was saying that but he didn't get it.
I was made moderator of two accounts, s/Saidit and s/AskSaidIt, and I remove a lot of spam posts and try to ban the bot accounts (because they'll just keep coming back daily; I've seen it happen) but I can't remove them from the site entirely. I've never banned a human account on here, and unless someone is hardcore harassing me in my own sub, I don't intend to.
The issue may go well beyond money though... potential customers may not have access to wifi or have own devices for viewing websites. There are even questions over the presence of opposable thumbs.
Posting here is useful for SEO ranking though (the links are not marked as "no-follow"). That would be actually an easy fix which would disadvantage at lease some spammers. But m7 is more of a sysadmin than web dev, so ...
This
I only can moderate s/News I have no power over the other subs. If you see Spam, report it to the moderators.
I saw a bunch get removed from earlier. Whenever I see obvious spam I just report it and hopefully makes it easier on whoever is trying to get a handle on it. I'm sure they're not watching 24/7 obsessively like the typical reddit mod.
