Yes, we still have spambots. However, due to the efficiency of our Moderators, they don't last long. They haven't really become that much of an annoyance really.

We receive quite a number of spambots during the after hours here in the America continents, when most staff are not as active. They can range from 12-25 spambots at some points, from what I have observed. The first thing I usually do when I awaken each morning is rid of the spambots, though it does get a slight bit confusing since some REAL members have names that can sound like a spambot and have a default profile picture. To confirm that the user is a spambot, you can identify that by checking their age (if any), noticing a promotional link to Physical/Medical products, or with other methods.

Most spambots I notice have the age of 24-26, but some can even have the age of a teenager in some uncommon cases or even profile pictures. So that's where you check their information via their profile page. Another note is that a small majority have the name "virk/Virk" in their name.

Anyways, now that I'm done rambling about how to separate spambots from "default" members and such, carry on.

Ok then thanks i will try to report if i spot any

I have a question :
Are spam bots the kind of accounts where someone just creats an account with information in there profile page to advertise to another site? Or any kind of advertisement ?

Pretty much, yes. However that's all they do around here. If we didn't ban them quickly, they no doubt would've eventually lead to posting spam threads in the forum.
