How many movie spammers are there?

And why do they keep coming? Are they just normal users who get their account broken into because they clicked the links? I think in the last half hour there have been at least 3 that I have seen get their threads taken down and each one had a different account.

Torbrowser.

When the malignant AI overlord takes over we will all drown in a proverbial sea of spam.

They're botsMonsieurX

Also, don't a lot of the bots type in poor English, with their grammar and word order kind of sounding like an Asian immigrant who is still learning English, or perhaps a computerized translation of another language.

They are bots that are programmed to post links to the site. This wouldn't be a problem if there was a create thread level limit. Or even if they couldn't post links until a certain level. ferrari2001

Is it just me or have these spambots been more common in the past couple of years? I don't remember seeing them in my early days on the site (i.e. 2007).

They are bots pretty much.Don't worry about them. Just report the threads.I find those spammers annoying anyway.

Back when I first joine, one had to be a Level 3 before being able to start a thread. Somewhere along the line, that requirment was removed or broken, but looking back, it wasn't this bad before the ToU change.
