Attack of the Journal Bots by SumiInk

I might be the only person who noticed since I'm a weirdo who checks the journal submissions for bots to report.

Since yesterday the bots have been going nuts with journals. For example, I lost track of how many pages I went through to find one from a user yesterday. I also checked a couple bots to see how much they were posting and they were 50+ journals or quickly growing in terms of how much they were posting. I can't report them all since there's so many.

It's usually not this bad. These types are a bit harder to notice as journals don't show up on the front page. The format for all of these are similar in length, tags, and layout. The main difference is the language used.

Stay safe everyone

    Yeah. It's getting out of hand. Unfortunately, there aren't that many moderators or administrators here.

      I tried messaging one of the people in charge about moderation, but I have yet to get a response. So that's fun.

      Hopefully it gets sorted out soon.
