I'm seeing a few accounts that are being reported as banned by BotBouncer, but they are actively still botting.

These users in particular were reportedly banned 3 days ago, but are now spamming the usual subs.

  • Heya, the banned status means banned in subs that use BotBouncer. Unfortunately, there's a good amount who don't. I asked the same question. I think there's some that say "purged" as their status in BotBouncer that mean site-wide banned. Hope that helps

    Ahhhh. Gotcha. Sorry, I misunderstood there. I should have read the sidebar.

    Thank you, that helps a ton. :)

    I'm not affiliated with them but I do a lot of collaborating with dev team. They're really cool

    I've only interacted with them a little bit, but yeah, they do seem cool. :)

  • If you see users that are Banned by botBouncer posting in subreddits, odds are that sub does not have BotBouncer installed.

    You can help us out by modmailing that subreddit and asking them to install BotBouncer.

    You can link them to this page:

    Will do! Thanks :)

    Edit:

    I'll update this list with mods I've pinged for subs that have confirmed BotBlocker banned accounts posting on them-

    petticoats

    SFWHeels

    LadiesLongNails - (I've got a small feeling this mod may not care)

    TokyoOutfits

    StepfordFashion

    As a word of warning, be careful contacting the Mods re: Bot Bouncer as some may be complicit and could report you for harassment. This could end up in you getting a warning or worse a ban, sometimes I suggest to install BB but it's only after I've read the room to see if the Mods are on the up and up (perusing their history's etc.) 99% of the time I report posts to Admin and not the sub itself (don't select the subs rule breaking option).

    I was given a warning a while ago, I can't remember the details now but it involved a copycat sub and a scammy website pushing stolen answers to exam questions. I reported to the sub numerous comments and posts and it got me in trouble, it made me take a break for a while.

  • I just posted a very similar question. Botbouncer does ban them from subs that use botbouncer but it's not a site-wide ban.

    I report the bot accounts posts/comments too, but at best the moderators on the subs might remove the post or comment and leaves the account to just do it again.

    I have begun to suspect that some subs may well be run by people that just can't be bothered, or worse are actually complicit somehow. Adding botbouncer seems to be pretty simple, so why not do it?

    yeah this. i remember sending modmails on some of my favorite subs that started to being invaded with these pathetic tshirt bots back in august but it seems that either mods don't give a fuck about modmails or they're too lazy to just pressing an "add app" button bruh
