Looks like we’ve had a wave of porn bots hit recently. Screenshot is a sampling of what’s popping up on my threads feed when sorted by new.

A heads up to @ernest and to folks with magazines that might get hit by these guys. Looks like they’re submitting from a couple of different domains, so it’s difficult to block them from the user side, and some admin action might be necessary.

EDIT: ernest has removed the accounts and content, looks like all is well.

    Yep - 100% a bot phishing attack - seen it a bunch on other sites I’ve run in the past. Probably goes without saying, but don’t click the links. I’ve been reporting them as I block so the admins have a paper trail for when they’re ready to purge the accounts.
