Spam bot being used very effectively on 4chan for months, the mods are unable to stop it and at this point have given up trying.
It currently targets a specific thread on /vg/ and duplicates posts from any of the other threads on /v/ and /vg/ and puts them into the thread it's spamming.
Currently it's just some buttmad furfag that's mad at his previous game but if one person can do it so can others and there are some people who could use this very effectively on certain boards to shut them down / market products.

Every thread made in relation this game gets this spam, if you check the archive you see it's been going on for months.
https://boards.fireden.net/vg/search/subject/guild%20wars/
"This has been ongoing for a few months, the original /gw2g/ers reported it and directly addressed mods. The site just can't deal with ban evasion, there are other generals and boards with regular spammers, some of which includes their own variants of "repost" spam. Conclusively, reporting it wouldn't do much when the bot gets a new IP every 2-3 posts, but using a name is a decent system for now, otherwise I'd redirect people to the guilds and their discords, where most of the original gw2gers and newer members have been going. I've seen thousands of IPs get deleted, and the fact you can pay companies to solve captchas for you from remote locations in this age hints at there being a ton more that could be used, aside from public caches. Sorry, but I'd just take it easy and just carry on about the game."

Unrelated, but daily reminder that /ammg/ needs to stop being a bunch of spergs and go back to being /mmog/ so GW2 can be discussed in peace, without this fuckin spam bot.

This is actually super easy to do, I used to have a bot like that (and of course I only did good things with it..)
And no you can't ban it, there's no easy solution.
If someone is really determined they'll always come back.

>but if one person can do it so can others
old news
pic related has been the case for every major product launch but in the case of win10 it was for well over a year while ms still offered the free upgrade where as most product launch hype only lasts a few weeks

The Japanese thread on /int/ was getting spammed the same way last I looked. It uses names and trips for some of the posts too.

>he doesn't remember the surgeon
This is nothing compared to that masterpiece.
