List of Bots for Mods to Remove

JohnInCarolina

Post them up here.  Let's help @HannahGreeneEgg out by listing the accounts that are routinely spamming the forum.

Hannah, these should be easy enough to verify as a quick look at their posts will indicate that they're mostly posting links to pages outside the forum aimed at getting people to purchase, well, junk.  

I'll start the list:  @jonessteave is a well-known offender.

Thanks Hannah

Thanks for taking care of Robert Bozic earlier as well. Much appreciated.

Now let’s talk about the tiny gifs…

Only one post, but @Sophie28 is another.

The other indicator of these accounts is that they resurrect old threads.

All I did was search the forum for “bot” - not too hard.  I think there are still a few more out there.

Still have to filter the results, no? Perhaps it's user error here, I was getting too many hits on Smobot and Botch

Yes, Gary, it still takes some effort.

Your own comments are probably a more direct vector to the bots.  You always seem to notice them and comment.

@HeavyG was nimble at bot spotting, miss him.

Was it ever determined what became of him?

No luck.  Nobody appears to have had his contact info.

Big props to @HannahGreeneEgg for the response here.  We have been trying to get rid of some of these accounts for years.
