This website is infested with pornbots, please respond.
@staff I’ve been reporting them left and right, but this is a plague. C’mon.
I’ve reported at least 100 of these. @staff please.
@staff my block list is now 500+ names larger. Ive reported every one of them, as well. What are you guys doing about it
Staff:
@staff please for the love of God do something we can’t even see the actual notes through this shit
To report a bot, click share on their post then report. I report 1 each of their post as spam and sensitive content. Then i block em by clicking the same button that would let me follow them.
No no no no no no! Unless the bot is the OP, this gets the OP in trouble because you flag the post, not the comment. Since we want to flag and report the bot comments, this is the way forward:
On mobile:
Notes > tap bot comment/reblog > report
On desktop:
Notes > click bot avatar > click pawn/human icon > report > flag & report for spam
Also, follow @purgethebots and turn on notifications. We launch our first attack on the porn bots tomorrow, August 1.
i wish there wasn’t such a stigma around being proved wrong, bc it’s a part of life, no one can be right all the time. if we didn’t feel as much shame about it i think a lot of things would change a lot faster
we all need to practice saying “I hadn’t thought of it like that” “I hadn’t seen it that way before” “I must have misunderstood the first time I heard about it” “if I had known those facts I wouldn’t have thought like I did”
Tumblr is in an epidemic. The porn bot apocalypse is here. And it’s really, really, really, really, really annoying. Even more annoying than me saying really five times in a row because let’s face it:

Lately the probability of finding a comment like this in the notes has gone up from 100% to a 10000% and it’s seriously impacting our user experience.
I have been here since 2010, @staff. Started out as wolf blog and in 2012 I used to share my poetry and made eight super good friends to which I am still talking today! But now what?
It’s pretty safe to say that there are a number of bot networks active on this website. The one asking for bitcoin and the aforementioned ‘looking for fun’ one for example. The bots follow a pattern and because it’s a network it should be easy to roll up.
I know we always point at @staff to fix this, but honestly, it’s not an easy fix. I know many people block bots, but do we also report and flag them? How does staff respond to flags?
Anyway, here is what I and 10,000 other people who started following this blog over the last 24 hours propose:
We purge the bots. The porn bots. All of them. This is going to be one big COORDINATED effort to destroy the bots!
For one month we are going to report and flag those blogs, and make sure we cut their profits so they don’t make enough money to support their bot network.
It’s very important that we do this as a community. This is a movement. Everyone has to join so we can limit the outcome of this battle to only two possibilities:

I would like to thank everyone for joining our army and turning on post notifications.
Here is how we proceed:
Our first objective is to purge the influx of ‘want to have fun?’ bots in the comments. Tumblr’s ToS allows porn blogs, so we don’t flag bot blogs for ‘sensitive content’, but rather for spam. Because that is exactly what they are doing: spamming the comments with unsafe links to shady websites.
We have two types of warriors in our army. Mobile and desktop users.
Mobile users: If you are on mobile, your options are limited. You can only report comments.
Click on notes
Press or tap a bot comment
Select “Report”
Choose “Block"
Your task is to report as many bot comments as possible and make a statement to @support and @staff.
Desktop users:
If you’re on desktop, your mission is to flag porn bot accounts.
Click on “Notes"
Click on the avatar of the bot blog
Tap the pawn/human icon
report > report spam > Flag & Block
Starting August 1, a new list of ~200 post links divided by zodiac signs will be posted everyday. In order to make things a tad more entertaining, I will give the operations silly or epic titles.
Join us @purgethebots , turn on post notifications so we can coordinate our first attack and prepare yourself for operation:
