Search & Purge

Today we are going on a scouting mission in the tags. Our target looks like this:

They post links with very similar titles. Posts have very, very random tags. My guess is that their software chooses 20 tags from a long list of words. Bots even appear under the suicide tag.

How to Search & Purge

1. Search for a tag (sky, nature, batman etc)
2. Go to ‘recent’ (not most ‘popular’)
3. Click the arrow
4. Click report
5. Report for spam

This approach is different from purging the comments. This time we use the arrow button. Using the arrow reports the entire post. We DON’T want to do this when we purge comments, otherwise we report the OP who made a nice post and not the bot.

Pay attention to the tags porn bots use. They give you directions where to purge next.

Don’t forget the warrior ethos. We only report bots. We don’t spam ourselves. Don’t comment 'purged this post, 2pm’ etc.

Let’s go get them!
