PikaPikachu 5,572 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 [ADMIN] Bots are being used to manipulate likes in comment section I've been noticing that some comments are being hugely upvoted by bots. I don't want to hire mods but I want to ask for help. If you see a comment that got upvoted by these 'auto-generated' names (see the photo below), please downvote the comment without replying to it. Replying to the comments will only "feed the troll" and mess up the discussion. If a comment gets dislikes, it gets placed lower and lower in the comment section. That way, we can push the manipulated comments to the bottom of the discussion. I was told that it's not specific individuals' comments that are manipulated, it's random comments that these bot users agree with. If I do spot a specific individual, I will blacklist the person. If your innocent comment gets upvoted by bots, sorry but your comment will still have to go away. (Bot names are easy to recognize) Thanks guys.

PikaPikachu 5,572 Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 I'm confused why is this relevant to people on OH ? Why not post this on KPFK or something ? KFKF posted it on her blog and I decided to post it here cause I've noticed it happening on other translation sites too since its an ongoing issue and its getting really ridiculous/ pathetic. Like on the recent Jessica post "people" where using bots to up vote negative comments about Jessica? Like How pathetic. Ad I've noticed it happen on other Jessica articles on NB too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bender Bending Rodriguez 582 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 As expected from sones and Jessica bandwagon stans. I'm confused why is this relevant to people on OH ? Why not post this on KPFK or something ?Because folks on sites such as NB, KPKF, Pann choa and folks on kpop forums such as OH are same group of people - kpop fans. Who else but kpop fans will be visiting these sites? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikaEGO 8,626 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 People should be smart enough to form their own opinions about situations, and shouldn't be swayed just because of upvotes, js . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bender Bending Rodriguez 582 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Btw all these bot names reminded me of that ultra dedicated sone/Taeyeon fan Zhai (and his/her 123456789 other names).

woooy 955 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Where can we hire OH Bots for them upvotes? As said previously: Netizenbuzz was destroyed by bot voting accounts. One troll, with a hundred accounts, who then also invaded Kpopkfans. OH is about to be destroyed the same way. There are hundreds of accounts here that have never made one single post. Each account slowly added over the years and never purged. They exist only to sign in, neg, sign out, and repeat down the line. If any other trolls are lurking, there is your blueprint. As long as your fake accounts never make a post, the account will last forever and you can start your reign of terror destroying OH. When the troll terrorizing NB and KPKF gets bored he'll move on to destroying OH. There will be no defenses against him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
