bot made accounts

[OnkelPaul]

I'd be willing to remove bot-made accounts - I'm pretty good at detecting and cleaning up forum spam
@mods: PM me when you think I can be trusted and the work would be useful.

You can do that by using the "Report to moderator" button.

Yup I'm already doing that when I see a spammy post, but most of the obviously spammy registrations don't even post.

If you only want to get rid of bots, they are normally only newbies so go over to the patrol page and report them whenever you see them. I'm sure the mods will appreciate it.

My offer was actually to reduce work for the mods by assisting in bot registration removal, not push work towards them
To me, the bots don't matter much, I don't even notice the non-posting accounts, and the spammy posts will be reported...

Where exactly is the patrol page?

Where exactly is the patrol page?

For it to be visible you need to enable it in your account settings, it's under "Forum Profile Information". Check the box that says: "Show patrol link". The hyperlink is left top of the page, under "Show new replies to your posts" and above "Watchlist". Here's the link to patrol: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=recent;patrol

Thanks! I seem to have missed this somehow, in spite of all the months spent here.

According to BadBear a while back they handle ~150 reports daily.

We are being showered with Viagra spam as I type.

I think that was a long time ago when he checked. I'm sure it'll be much more than that now, especially with all these bots. I've nuked probably 20-30 today alone.
