Bots deletion thread

@Lieutenant_Boo It's pretty consistent with the pattern these bots show though. Made a nonsensical post right after making the account, hasn't logged in since and the only response to the post is clearly a bot. Also, I can't find it cause it will obviously have been deleted, but I swear I saw the exact same post word for word posted about half a year ago and that turned out to be a bot. I can understand wanting to wait to remove users until they start editing in links, but it is often very clear pretty much immediately.

Dug through Talk to find these: https://www.speedrun.com/confusing/allposts (suspicious link on profile) https://www.speedrun.com/olivias/allposts (links to a dodgey youtube downloader page, language on that post also seem machine generated) https://www.speedrun.com/aliciaallan/allposts (link on profile) https://www.speedrun.com/Pikton/allposts (suspicious twitch link, seems channel (if it ever exsited) was removed) https://www.speedrun.com/Kleeeniks/allposts (posted about this one like a month ago, was told it wasn't a bot, but it's still linking to a dodgy registry cleaner site and "promote my account on instagram") https://www.speedrun.com/thefallencomrade/allposts (unsure about this one, language seems almost natural, but there is a suspicious link on the minecraft post)

The only actions I’ve seen from this account: https://www.speedrun.com/user/69_others have been to like posts by this spam account: https://www.speedrun.com/miyduzuknu/allposts

Doesn't seem like a crime to me.

Now they’ve gone and liked everything I’ve ever posted. I had 73 notifications. Sure, not a crime, but annoying, and it’s clearly just a spam/bot account.

Handled... not that everything was a bot.

https://www.speedrun.com/user/69_others hasn't posted anything, but seems to be liking every single post in certain threads (see this https://www.speedrun.com/talk/thread/o5tfk or this https://www.speedrun.com/talk/thread/so5e8 as examples)

Slightly suspicious response to a dead thread. Maybe I'm just paranoid but flagging to watch anyway. https://www.speedrun.com/isvancanoko/allposts
