Spambot Scavenger Hunt!

Ah. I was trying to avoid anyone with resumes and such, but like I said, kindle. And sometimes, it's a little choosy about what it loads.
 
F#@$... There's that ADHD again...

"- They will have links in their profile and siggy that go to places like porn sites, medical websites, or shopping sites."

Completely missed that part... Give me a moment. I'll save you the trouble and clear everything out x_x
 
I need a Concerta.
 
Um...

I'm not... Particularly sure... On the one hand, he seems to be drawing people to another roleplay site, on the other, he has a resume.

Definitely looks like a real person. I think it's more 'has all of these things' not just 'has one of these things'; I feel like it's pretty safe to assume someone is a real person if they have information filled out...

Sure, it looks like someone real set it up, but nobody ever said people can't manually spam to make it convincing. Case in point, I posted a decent number of accounts that were all completely empty, therefore technically spamming lists.
 
The first post has been updated with a big list of people that are NOT spambots! :D
 
Well, at least I might have managed to help with one thing tonight.
 
Yes, there is at least that! XD
 
Turns out Diana is the spambot.


Mind: blown.

So, considering I never got a response from @Diana, I ended up extracting, compiling, and arranging an Excel spreadsheet of all the data listed in the Members list.

This includes:
Forum Name
A link to their profile
Forum Title
Age
Iwaku Patron (Angel Diana, Demon Vay etc)
Location
Messages
Positive Ratings
Negative Ratings
Trophy Points

I was going to post it but I'd like to get admin permission first. It might help to speed up this process.

Again to clarify, there isn't any information on the spreadsheet which isn't already available to anyone who creates an account. All of the info was pulled as a copy/paste straight from the "Registered Members" section, which is in plain view and not hard to find.

@Diana or @Vay am I okay to post this? Or should I refrain and hog all the spambot-detecting glory for myself?

EDIT: Fun fact - there are 4,969 users as of the time I finished pulling data. There may already be more.

Yes, keep finding them for us. For everyone of them that is taken down, my power increases. Kekekekekeke.

If you want to go through all of that work, it is fine, yes. O_O But I am not sure if the end results would be worth the effort and time you put in to it!
 
That took too f@#!ing long -.-

Well, I kind of already did it @___@

It really wasn't so bad, I have had to deal with data that was waaaay clunkier and more difficult to manage before.

Here is the link:
Iwaku Member List 20140912 (Use this to download the file)
OR use this link for Google Sheets which will allow you to manipulate the data in your browser.

What I suggest is, go through it and filter "Messages" by whatever amount you choose, less than 5, less than 10, less than 2, exactly 0, etc.

Then weed through the profiles, using other data if you want (like specifying Location or age as blank if you think the spambots are too lazy to fill that in).

Fatal, is there any way you can filter the "site" part of their profile for empty/containing something?
