please pick your favorite unicron toy/colors from the 4.

The modern comics universe has had such a different take on G1, one that's significantly represented by the Generations toys, so they share a forum. A modern take on a Real Cybertronian Hero. Currently starring Generations toys, IDW "The Transformers" comics, MTMTE, TF vs GI Joe, and Windblade. Oh wait, and now Skybound, wheee!

These new spambots fascinate me. How do they even work? They're like doddering AIs on the brink of being able to join in conversations but never really making sense.

I suspect this so called "Spam bot" is Scottie in disguise.

Scottie has been stalking/harassing & cyber bullying me everywhere i go. scottie creates hundreds of fake newbie accounts on all the moderated TF message boards I post at.

Scottie is a malicious troll with metal problems & probably has a shitty & meaningless life if he needs to stalk people on the internet 24 hours a day/7 days a week.

Scottie likes to parrot/repeat stuff I say,copy & paste them & throw them inside subject headers & replies.

I suspect one of scottie's friends/supporters alerted him i'm posting a few threads/replies here on TFViews.

It's best to just ignore this Scottie & have a TFViews mod/admin/site owner check into these so called spam bots IP data trails. if you see a iphone/touch with a aoie.org & a UTC time zone then this is scottie.

please don't bother lowering yourselves replying to these scottie spam bot replies or threads here on TF views. have a TFviews mod/amin/site owner delete the replies/threads as quickly as their created. feeding the scottie troll will make him think he's got purpose here,like most trolls that get fed,they think their super stars & the life of the party.

it's best if every just ignored all these one or few replies newbies calling themselves spam bots in their signatures. everyone stop replying,just use the report button & alert the mods/admin/site owner. if your a mod/admin/site owner then delete all these scottie replies as quick as the scottie creates them all.

if no TFviews members is using a iphone/touch,no aoie.org then have this iphone & aoie.org blocked from this site.

Scottie exist on the internet to be a malicious troll,he's a embrasssement to the fandom he's in.

He likes Mastodon? HIYOOOOO

I don't think there's a big Scottie infestation, the Scotties just seem to target Tigmeg's threads so as long as we ignore them and just post as usual the Scotties will go away eventually. I can't imagine the Scotties are intelligent/stupid enough to target other board members.

Their not spam bots. these are all registered users who took the time to register here,they have profile,email addresses,user names & post count accounts here on tfviews.

the words "spam bot" is being typed into their signature quotes by the user not by the tfviews sites.

PLEASE don't click on any links this Scottie post here on this TFVIEWS sites. don't up any emails from these scottie fake newbie users.
Scottie post links on alt.toys.transformers to sites that have virus pop up adware/marlware virures on them. scottie is a experienced malicious TF troll he sends out viruses to users email accounts.

Don't feed this scottie troll. ignore him. staff delete all his replies as quick as he creates them.

I agree, but people should still be made aware of the risk he poses, so I've put a little warning in my sig. If it attracts his unwanted attention, I'll remove it.

Well this makes more sense now. First I saw that, I thought we had to watch out for the Scottish.

Well, never let your guard down either way! To be fair, I'm nearer more of them.

To be clear, the posts from the spammers didn't have "I'm a spambot" in their signatures, they had different advertisement links. Their hope was that even if I delete the user, the sig data would remain and get spidered into Google, which would spread their ad links. So, I changed their sigs to read "I'm a spambot" to let you guys know what the dealio was with them. Often, 1 successful spammer will attract another, and some bot-writers will simply write multiple bots to follow each other around and post contextual material. Sometimes those spammers aren't bots, but 3rd world spammers whose time is SO worthless due to their weak economies that it actually can pay to drop thousands of hours creating that sort of spam across tens of thousands of posts all to chase a single sucker's single dollar.

So are they bots, or is it Tigmeg's stalker like Dom seems to think?? So confused.
