I’m Tired Of Getting Jump Scared - Blog Posts

How to spot a NSFW bot in a tumblr community (Or how to know if someone who’s joined your community might post it)

——————

This is just stuff I’ve noticed. Let me know if I should add something. I’m getting sick and tired of getting jump scared by them.

(Also, this list might be updated later when I come up with more stuff)

They have either spam lettered usernames or those basic ones they give you when you first make an account. It’s always the accounts with users villigantskyyodeler or ldlfjkd124. Not all accounts who use the suggested names or keyboard smashes are like this, of course.

They have an empty or undecorated blog, or have reblogged another bot’s spam. Again, not all empty blogs are like this, but from what I’ve noticed, the blogs are always the default.

They post a random letter or post an unrelated gif in your community. This is them getting their link ready to post, so this will disappear in a minute or two. If you see this in time, it’s best to immediately block and report the post!

Look out for these things, and if you have anything to add, let me know! It wouldn’t be a great idea to click the link either (I don’t care how horny you are lol). If you own a community and constantly see bots come in, it’s best to make your community to where people have to request to join, then you can watch out for these things! And, to the people who might have 1 and 2 and get denied entry to their community, I suggest decorating your blog and messaging them!

This has been a PSA! Reblog (if you’d like) to spread awareness!!
