(16:45:29) +Anikitan: people are mentioning someone spamming and shitposting the thread
(16:45:43) +Anikitan: but i cant tell which posts are which because apparently they're spamming with related content
(16:45:55) +Anikitan: and copy pasting posts from the archive to spam
(16:46:02) +VCR_Working: wow that is dirty
(16:46:02) +Anikitan: so it all looks ok on the surface
(16:46:24) +VCR_Working: also yetsturdy: yeah if you need to take a break, no one will hold it against you
(16:46:35) %yournamehere: I dont really see anything
(16:46:40) %yournamehere: link me an example Anikitan?
(16:46:45) +Anikitan: i honestly have no idea
(16:46:47) +Anikitan: hang on a sec
(16:47:14) +yetsturdy: VCR_Working: /mlp/ has actually learned its lesson for the most part. clop is significantly down following the holofaust.
(16:47:41) +Anikitan: posts like this make me think that theres something going on (not the spammer, if there is one)

(16:48:45) +VCR_Working: mhm
(16:49:11) +Anikitan: but i honestly for the life of me can't figure out what it is
(16:49:21) +Anikitan: because i dont use that general at all
(16:49:57) %yournamehere: yeah, everyone is complaining about something
(16:49:59) +Anikitan: and now people are complaining about getting banned for abuse of the report function
(16:50:03) %yournamehere: but I don't know what the fuck is going on
(16:50:06) +VCR_Working: something's up
(16:50:17) +Anikitan: post in the thread with a mod tag and ask them whats up?
(16:50:21) +VCR_Working: if /vg/ had an active archive
(16:50:34) +VCR_Working: i'd be able to figure out what exactly is up
(16:50:41) Troid: it does have one
(16:50:41) +Anikitan: well i mean here's the previous thread for reference https://boards.4chan.org/vg/res/37820174
(16:50:47) +Anikitan: and i do see similar posts at the start
(16:50:52) +Anikitan: but nothing that might be considered spam

[...]
(16:55:54) +Anikitan: i didnt KNOW there were other rule breaking posts
(16:55:58) +Anikitan: since everything looked normal
(16:56:10) +Anikitan: and honestly, still looks normal
(16:56:11) +VCR_Working: it's about finding which posts are coming from that ip, if any
(16:56:33) +VCR_Working: narrow down things
(16:57:20) +Anikitan: it sounds like horse shit
(16:57:28) +Anikitan: only one post in the first 20 or so has a ban request on it
(16:57:37) +Anikitan: https://boards.4chan.org/vg/res/37950157#p37950885 this one
(16:58:02) +VCR_Working: like i said, if any
(16:58:04) +VCR_Working: lol
(16:58:11) +VCR_Working: also childhood friend a shit
(16:59:23) +VCR_Working: i'm pretty sure something's definitely up
(16:59:29) +VCR_Working: need more evidence tho
[...]
(17:03:00) %yournamehere: one IP has ~30 posts in the thread
(17:03:03) %yournamehere: not anymore!
(17:03:33) +VCR_Working: damn
(17:04:14) +Anikitan: lets hope thats it
(17:04:23) +Cadfael: big boy mod buttons ftw
(17:04:44) %yournamehere: that one was quite the investigation
(17:05:05) +Anikitan: internet supersleuths
(17:05:22) +Anikitan: im gonna open the old thread
(17:05:33) +Anikitan: 100+ posts gone from it
(17:06:36) +Anikitan: that might have been it
(17:07:11) +Anikitan: >the guy who said "i just got banned for abusing the report function" was the guy who was spamming
(17:07:18) +Anikitan: think we nailed it yo
(17:07:42) +VCR_Working: lol
(17:08:18) +VCR_Working: so it was a bluff to dissuade people from reporting
(17:08:23) +VCR_Working: impressive
(17:08:36) +Anikitan: what a dick
(17:08:42) +Anikitan: like seriously
(17:09:25) +VCR_Working: as an aside
(17:09:30) +VCR_Working: i expect him to be back
(17:09:39) +Anikitan: yep probably
(17:09:46) Troid: meanwhile, /po/ hasn't had a post in 3 hours
(17:09:48) +VCR_Working: that kind of poster reeks of evading faggotry
(17:09:54) +VCR_Working: damn /po/
(17:09:56) Troid: oh wait, it got one 20 minutes ago
(17:09:58) +Anikitan: though if he was retarded enough to post ALL 120 POSTS with the same IP
(17:10:01) Troid: FANFARE
(17:10:15) +VCR_Working: might be asukaspammer type
(17:10:27) +VCR_Working: keeps on one ip until it gets shitcanned
(17:10:35) +VCR_Working: then moves on to another
(17:11:19) +Anikitan: i'd rather that than someone who keeps resetting their IP between posts
(17:11:23) +Anikitan: for MAXIMUM OVERTROLL
