Torn spam bots

So I got this message from some random lvl 1 yesterday:


Hamburg: Hi mate, come and have a look at this new game, its called [Super cool game] , its new so you could be the best. lots of active staff with daily updates and its growing quickly. join now and you could dominate. in here more Features and many more intrested feature. Link: Super cool game

(some slight edits have been made for legal reasons).

Now there was some other random spam going on in the forums as well yesterday, boobpics and whatnot, which got me thinking. You see I have never encountered spambots on this game before, through all my 7 odd years of playing, which is odd considering the size of the game. Have I just been very lucky, or are we actually blessed with a lack of spambots? what are your experiences?

I've been hit by a few mail ones over the years, and as one of the most active forumers have also been hit by the boob ones, and even a few legit spambots with links to random websites. All in all Torn is just pretty good about controlling them. As far as I can tell the boob ones actually disappear through legal action though as they don't know when to quit.

How do you mean legal action? as in Ched networks actually suing the posters?

I have never received something like this.

Think as a general rule: any link sent to you by a stranger = do not open....espically if they have super cool names like "super cool game" :D

I did modify the link I posted. The original was a direct link to the game. The link in this post is perfectly fine to click ;P

i have had a few a while ago it always make me laugh :)

yeh...but you have to lock the door and make sure volume is low just encase it some super loud boobs

I'm sorry to break this to you, but its not the boobs that make the sound...

like i said...never received one, so i can only speculate

Luckily enough someone else has already done the research: very official research link

A year or so ago some douche came from a little game and flooded our chats with advertisements. So a group of us just went on their forums and spammed the shit out of them and then refreshed until their servers couldn't handle it.

I don't think it's a very good marketing technique to annoy people who might want to try your game.

I have seen three of them,I didn't know whether to laugh at them or appreciate them

I agree 100% with that. As soon as you get an advert somewhere it shouldn't be nowadays, I tend to automatically assume its a trick to get me to download malware.

well to be honest, if you're looking for boobs there are better places on the internet to look.

You've been looking for a chance to show off your amazing ascii art for ages haven't you?

I got same massage twice a week, I meant last week when i was using global chat. At the second time i got the massage, I copy and paste to the global chat to show others what i got. I didn't know the link will go through, unluckily the link appear. Then at the same day i got Verbal Warning from the system. Damn it.
