Fake "LikeBots" As Well As Copybots, now upon this NAS Forum

Disambiguating Cynosure
over 4 years ago

Greetings to All. This is the latest "Maintenance" Thread, or 'Report Spam' Thread. ( ...& For those not interested or not affected, I say just move on, or start Your own Thread. ) But this kind of Thread *is* necessary at times. NAS themselves say to start a New Thread when a New problem arises, and so that is what I am doing here.

NAS, There is a LIKEBOT here now, as well as a COPYBOT. Again. (Using a Plural does not matter.) This Thread is begun to draw Your attentions to the fact.

The BEST information on This Forum, about dealing with "Copybots":
https://community.autism.org.uk/f/miscellaneous-and-chat/12621/copybot-and-forum-security/

The "LikeBot" is a new thing. I Myself have been seen to "like" certain (new) Users of whom I have no knowledge. This is the Thread to write about that, now. I have never "upvoted" these Persons but someone has FAKED My doing so...

So, NAS, --- SORT IT OUT!!!

    I was wondering, since posts are usually automatically tagged with keywords and "related" posts with similar keywords are linked (see example on the right hand side "Related"). Is it possible to write a comparison algorithm for each post to, for example, the top 10 most related posts before it gets finally posted, so that copied posts will not be allowed?
