When I read the comments of a game I very often see advertising from spam accounts.

Like the account named tu1893


This account was created today and he allready has made 149 coomment, probably mostly advertisings for example here

Can I do anything else against this than reporting his spam-comments as Spam/Abuse?

Don't worry about him. You just have to report him and let the moderators/admins do their business.

I just can't understand. The AD Companys get their paycheck yet they still want more. More for Free. Moderators Administrators are useless against this. Their must be a program , one that will stop this madness. Mostly Spam starts out with NEW users not existing ones so when one creats an account it should have it's own tool or bot that will stop it from commenting more than once on a game or atleast have some sort of A.I. Gadget that will allow it to know whats spam and whats not. (Sigh) Spam. Sending. Pointless. Accumalative. Messages. S.P.A.M.

Yeah, it's these adbots. The mods ARE doing their jobs. They are banning the accounts. The problem is, as soon as one account is banned, they make another one immediately. There's this.

And this:

As for the facebook-ads, I will repeat my unofficial advice (not the opinion of any staff, the company of Armorgames or any other relevant organisation) that you, if you have a fabebook account, should go send complaints to the creator of the app (it is easily done).
Who knows, maybe it would work.

No bad idea, maybe it really works....

less spam comments to delete and less accounts to ban for the mods/admins, good perspectives.


So I think it it makes not very much sense to continue reporting single comments from those adbots, doesnt it?

Report the whole user. To that email. And make sure to try to get a screenshot of one of their adv comments. And also to a mod. And use facebook.

Okay, thank you for this advice.

I will use this methods to report this accounts more effective, maybe there will come the happy day, when those spamers get rid of being banned ect. and let us in peace.

Well, every time a spammer wants to create a new account, they have to use a new email address. So, it is rather pointless why they do this. Yet, for some reason, they must have all the time in the world and continue to do this. You can also check whether their account is banned or not is by typing their username in the login box and hitting enter.

Email Justin as mentioned in his stickied thread.
Making more threads on it won't help anyway.
