The new CP spam filter now also works on posts that hide the link in the image instead of the post body.

I have modified the software today to be able to block the actual endpoints of the shortened URLs usually included in CP spam. This should help a lot with slowing down the spam; the spammers have infinite URL shorteners but so far they all point to the same few places. We will start checking endpoints and adding them to the blocklist soon. Hopefully browsing will become less stressful.

This modification has also been submitted as a pull request to the main vichan repo. Hopefully they pick it up and other sites can start using it.

P.S. I also upgraded us to the newest version of the software. Stuff could break so please let me know if something isn't working right.

CP spammers aren't bots. they'll find away around eventually. lets just hope this reduces the amount of spam. its better than captcha shit.

Fukken nice one sei.
Out of interest, what is on the websites they point to? Do they actually appear to be selling the materials they advertise? I've been trying to ascertain their motives but that's hard without visiting the links which I don't want to do.

What do you mean, everything about this operation screams bots.

You can click for yourself but I am not going to. No thanks. We legally cannot tell you what's there.

It's not bots. They can bypass ANY captcha you throw at them, even anime-related ones. It's behaviours also scream of a human element as they seem to react to ban messages sometimes.

How'd they react to ban messages?

Things like short URL unshortener (https://unshorten.it/) and page peeker (https://visualping.io/) should serve you well.

They are commercial CP spammers advertising their porn. They aren’t bots. They appear to post manually with VPNs and stuff or from 3rd world countries. Probably have a bunch of links bookmarked which is why they always mass post on the same boards every month or so. Captcha doesn’t stop them because they are human and getting paid to do this. Probably paid per site they spam.

At this point the spam is daily which is why I had to take the drastic action of modding the software. A more horrifying possibility than paid sickos (and a likely one) is that the operation is a human trafficking powered sweatshop.

It probably is a big network selling this stuff or maybe one of those child pornography tube sites that has a bunch of people spamming the whole internet with pedo fuckery. I read this counterterrorism paper that said that traditional methods of spamming imageboards doesn’t work. That the best way to fight the chans is to spam them with content that turns users off and causes the site population to go down. So it could be a law enforcement program. The feds have it in their foolish brains that imageboards cause crime and extremism just like they had this hateful obsession with Muslims in the past and probably transgenders in the future. This is all by design.

I wonder where the links go but I’m not clicking on that shit. I bet it’s a fed ambush. I bet there is malware there. Whole thing smells. There’s darker shit going on behind the scenes we don’t know about,

Transgenders in the future? My brother in christ they want them dead now

 No.4075

They haven't made it to that level yet.
There is definitely organized campaigns by shady political think tanks to manipulate chans,
anti-trans stuff is just one of the many kinds of things they spam.

Could you link that paper for me please?
