Company Spam bots

[Rascal~ 657]

I've seen more than a few of them about the place, spam bots for companies like dressmakers and liverpool kitchens and such. 
I know that I report them, or well the topics they make. Would it be an alright thing if I were to report the members that these topics are coming from? I only report the topics, and I don't know if the members that the topics are coming from are being dealt with anyway. Like I'm sure a mod can always follow the topic creator and get rid of them, but can you guys actually do that or should I report both the topic and the member?

Of course it would be.

You'd be making a mod' s job alot easier.

Yes @, it works all the same if you report the spam bot itself as the mods end up removing all the bots posts and its profile anyway.

@,
Oh alright, I just had no clue if mods did it anyway or not.

As Dawn said, Mods and admins have a magical button located on profiles that completely nukes the account. All of their topics are insta-deleted, as well as their statuses and they're auto-banned forever. It's called the 'Mark as Spammer' button :3 This is used when it's clear that an account is a bot. Fast cleanup. Not nearly as difficult to clean up as a problematic member who would need a staff to physically sift through their posts content.

 

So, when it comes to accounts that are 100% clearly bots, report the individual post, or the account, it actually doesn't matter much. Just include 'Is a bot' or something along those lines.
