Hi all
Donāt know if Iām in the right place. Please tell me if Iām not!
Is it possible to report https://www.memrise.com/user/augey502/. I have just seen whatever disgusting stuff they have in their bio! Seems like a bot.

Thanks for your help @Mr_Marshall and @mark.mcewen.3981
I hope our developers can come up with a permanent solution to stop the bots from creating new accounts soon.
In the meantime, weāll keep just continue deleting their accounts

Thanks for deleting them @Lien!
Any idea how long this might take? I think this will mean many users have to suspend use of the platform until it is addressed.
Hi @Lien Another one, Iām afraid:
https://www.memrise.com/user/Ferretsnarf/
The following two Iām not really sure if they are actually spam:
https://www.memrise.com/user/fishingking21/
https://www.memrise.com/user/new_peek2017/
I also have some:
https://www.memrise.com/user/aiman66/
https://www.memrise.com/user/sample/
https://www.memrise.com/user/smag74/
Thanks!
it doesnāt look like thise 2 are spammers,
more looks like people whoāre just fiddling around a bit
Hi,
Weāre currently conducting further investigation of the Spambot accounts (raised by yourselves) and was hoping those affected could briefly provide us with some more information. This would help us understand how the issue first arose.
Can you explain how you first came across or noticed these spam accounts?
For example: āI first noticed the spam accounts because I received a notification that I had a new follower. I then checked the follower and saw it was a fake accountā
Any more information you can provide would be great

I saw that I had a follower, and apparently itās a spambot, I didnāt get any notifications that Iām followed on memrise etc, I just opened the profile today and it was there - havenāt visited my profile for a while so it might have been there for some time.

Iām so glad youāre looking into this, thank you!
Similar to @agnishka90, some of my students were looking through their lists of followers and wondered who these new followers were. They clicked on the follower and then saw the inappropriate bio content.

itās clear they are spambots because of the type of links in their bio
except for that, thereās no problem, because lots of people pop in at memrise, try it a while, and then lose interest
i only notice it when i visit Followers on my Profile page
i donāt think they can do much harm, except if people follow those links,
so itās a very passive system

It was only when I read this thread, I decided to check my followers and was disappointed to find several spambot accounts.

Same with me, saw this thread and was wondering if I had spammers and looking through my followers I came across a couple. I got no notifications of new followers.
