[to the tune of "100 bottles of beer on the wall"] 100 spambots on tumblr dot com, 100 spambots on tumblr dot com... take one down, block it around , 110 spambots on tumblr dot com
**Announcement**
Hi lovelies! I'm just posting here to share that, because of a gross influx of spambots on ao3, as well as reported attempts of AI skimming content, I'm going to be locking my fics to registered users only. PLEASE know that you can still access my fics if you want them! You'll just need to create an account on ao3 if you haven't already! If you have any questions or difficulties with that, I'm super happy to help! (But probably not until after the weekend; I'm going camping, haha!) I hope this doesn't cause any trouble for anyone!
I got the most hilariously batshit spambot comment on a fic. It's like holy guilt trip, batman.
What makes it so much more funny is that it's on the college AU. You know the one set in a fictional world, and with the rather explicit point of not being based on any US college experience. The one that's mostly silly, and romance. Like I know these are random but still.
Sharing mostly because this one is so over the top people need to see it. But also to say that if you get comments like this don't take them to heart, and report them (since it's not a logged in user there's a handy spam button to click on the comment).
Just a warning to everyone: There is a new type of spambot barraging the ace and aro tags. They advertise opportunities to work for FedEx.
Please report any accounts you see making posts that look like this. It’s unlikely that staff will actually do anything, since they seem far more preoccupied with banning trans people and Palestinians, but it’s better than doing nothing.

I’ve been seeing a lot of spambots that are taking legit comic and fanart posts and replacing legit links to different comic pages with links to sketchy websites instead, if not outright adding sketchy links.
Does anyone know how to report these (I’m reporting them as “impersonation” since they’re pretending to be legit authors, but I’m not sure if it counts as obvious spam or something else), and where they’re popping up?
I’ve noticed a crapton in the Iron Lung and Project Hail Mary spaces.
So, I've seen two blogs responding to random people's posts with a long screed that starts out with:
[username redacted] [username redacted] you didnt cause all of my suffering,but you caused MOST of it. You dont listen, you don't care what YOU DID to my life. Permanent seizures, beatings, PTSD: abuse is abuse. Youre rich and dont have to care, but it was everything to me [url redacted]
If you see these blogs, please report them for spam.
what is with all of these spambots trying to scam people into "getting paid to read poetry"? i get one every frickin' day. tumblr needs to clean this shit up.
