Spam filter update!

You now all can control the bots.

Suspicious post count of user + suspicious comments is now blocked too! Like here: https://devrant.com/rants/11507563/...

Also, if some one is spamming, just say @ragnar in the comments and the spam bots will come to help in less than a minute.

I used @ragnar, since that's the name of the anti spam system but it was already an existing use. He left dR, so fuck him! :)

Don't abuse the power guys.

Oh, btw. hackerone975@gmail.com creates all the spam. That's the one with with the bots. I mailed him. If you want, also sending him a thank you would be appreciated. Just a empty email with "Loser" as subject is OK too.

@12bitfloat it's not easy to abuse Ragnar. It doesn't do anything if the user is not sus. For example, nothing happens now: @ragnar. Being a sus user is not enough to get deleted. Having sus comments is also allowed. Ragnar sees @ragnar as a sus comment so that's how it works. Ragnar is a forbidden word. And forbidden word under a sus user means bye rant.

@retoor Okay, that makes sense :D

@12bitfloat someone down voted this rant :P Check this: https://devrant.com/rants/11508718/.... I think they're actually working on it.

Sad that nobody but only me can see how good they work.I get mention every time they clean up spam and it's a lot.

I think the spammer is Indian based on some links it supplies.

This is actually geinous 😄 Using downvotes to delete rants. Though won't the bots get downvote banned? I am and I barely downvote (compared to how long I've been around)

@ScriptCoded The bots don't use the downvote option that will get you down vote banned. And also they downvore randomly. The bots also work async, it's not always the same bots downvoting.

Someone told me to write a nice AI message to when it down votes based on their rant. I said that it was too much resources but I actually have the resources now to do such things. But I don' tthink it's worth it because nobody will see it and the spammers don't check the rant afterwards I guess.

@retoor Ah right! But yeah I don't think it's worth wasting on stuff that won't be seen. Keep it clean and neat :)

@ScriptCoded yeah totally. The current system uses 0.8% memory and 1% CPU for all four bots when they have smth to do. That's great. If i would implement AI, it would have a half minute 400% CPU and lose 6Gb of RAM wasted. I can use such resources better :P Current bots run on molodetz, a free server from a friend. It costs me nothing and it's superfast.

I love it! Good job! This place is becoming usable again! ❤️

They're doing hard work. Look for fun at the profile of bot no-spam1 under comments. They comment every time when they delete a rant. And it's a lot. We're under attack.

I am going to do some machine learning regarding the comments in this rant: https://devrant.com/rants/1472760/...

Look what a mess. And this is an active rant, which means that they successfully published their comments to Google. I will keep this rant in mind because I can figure out their whole network here.
