BO appears to be MIA for the moment, so we're on our own for now. For those who haven't noticed, the board has been getting flooded with posts from a bot that rips posts from various 4chan boards and posts them here. Luckily it doesn't appear to be making its own threads, which is probably the only reason we're still afloat. Here's what you can do to help out with the problem:
Hang in there everyone. We'll get through this alright.

Thanks board volunteer

Thanks guy
As I said to my fellow mods in the hotpockets thread, remember to ban the ips that make the bot posts. Each IP will make multiple posts.
Should we post info for any new anons due to traffic?
but at the same time, don't permaban. If this is coming from a botnet, as I suspect it is, the ip's may belong to normal people who may want to post here eventually. I'm setting my bans for 19days and 17hours.
Finally an excuse to start using Lenin hat again.
Seriously though, thanks for this, appreciate the effort of trying to keep Holla Forums together.
And to think this all started just because wanted to teach some nazis about Marxism.
...
It's obvious isn't it? People don't want to think about complex things. They want their orcs to fight because it makes them feel good. It's directional thinking VS our systemic thinking. Literally R/K selection theory, but the directional thinkers are the dumb apes who haven't evolved yet. This includes SJWs, who are funded by porky, of course.
Or I'm just being edgy. Hi Muke.
Good opportunity to add some more flags
Mechflag pls.
WHO ELSE /notbot/ HERE
I a, MECHA. Bot is faggot.
Just realised I thought I was in a completely different thread there. Deleted that other post.
Anyway, yea that's still kinda edgy, but I get what you mean as well.
Although I do have some hope, because it did almost seem like we were making SOME progress there. We still are.
I even had a thread were instead of just another dick measuring contest between stormfags and commis, I was like 'ok guys ask your questions about communism and I will do my best to answer' and for the first time on pol we had actually dialogue happening. People were being educated, and you could tell some people were being convinced, even if only slightly.
We should keep at it tbh.
...
URAAAAAA
Apparently /baphomet/ is working on something to fix this, a whitelist of sorts. some of the smaller boards are already using them
Yup. Even now the bot is spamming posts from halfchan that are from people that have woken up from the Trump shit they were selling.
Furry proles, unite against the bourgeoisie furfags!

WHO ELSE /notbot/ HERE
Why is the report queue empty? Comrades, your motherland needs you. Report, and do not reply to any bots!
I don't post here alot (And I made the "What am I" thread here today before knowing there were bots) please don't ban me
So, I got to thinking, maybe I'M a bot, and I just dont know it yet
sometimes it's hard to tell which ones are bots
i'm going crazy here
So it's actually a botnet? What country do they come from?
Well since you asked
Agreed
SEND HELP
is the captcha back now?
Yes sir. of course. Us plebs, who operate websites, can determine the country of origin of a bot net.
You see, through sophisticated means every hijacked networked device we can backtrace and determine who hijacked it by executing a few simple keystrokes.
All we need to do is track down each ip address that has made bot posts, hack into that ip address and view logs to see where the command originated from. only after we do that to every posting bot's IP, and then recursively do the same to every IP address we find on the bot IP's logs, can we determine the country of origin.
Yes. This is entirely possible and totally plausible.
...
These are all good ideas, thank you for stickying this Volunteer. However, I think it will basically be impossible to check all of the reported posts to determine whether they are bots. For us to delete bot posts, it should be easier to read through the threads themselves and do a D+ on the ones that definitely don't fit.
Also, I have re-enabled CAPTCHA.
I have to say, I really admire Bui's invention here. This is like the nuclear option against discourse… I have never seen anything like this before.
EDIT: oops, forgot to post in mod view
Have we turned the tide lads?
Have we smashed the gang of fur?
And on the bright side, I guess we're above Holla Forums now.
Plus on the front page it's filled with leftypol threads.
Apparently he did something similar to furry a while back, holding them hostage in exchange for free porn of a ferret being forced to lick someone's feet.
War… has changed
You can know the country of origin with just the IP you retard.
...
Never thought I'd be the type to develop stockholdm syndrome tbh…
United forever in shitposts and waifus,
Our mighty Holla Forums will ever endure.
The great Stirnerposting will live through the ages.
The bane of idpol our bunker secure.
CHORUS:
Long live our Holla Forums motherland, built by the people's mighty hand!
Long live our anons, united and free.
Strong in our bunkers tried by fire. Long may our Zizek memes inspire,
Shining in glory for classcucks to see!
You will learn to love the spam, the bots, the shitposting, and embrace them, all in time.
Only then will you understand it was free speech all along, more meaningful than 90% of the discussions you already had up to this point.
You will finally open your eyes to the truth so plainly before you.
is that a threat, mr transhumanist?
Why can't I post a thread?
does the bot post pictures? if not, add that to your description of its behavior
read it again
jost woke up
...
Why still no eco-socialist flag? Red and green, super simple. Unless you want a watermelon?
Yeah I want one too. Red and Green star would look nice.
I'd like to see the Zapatista flag and Cuba added too.
It seems like most of the bots stopped around an hour ago? Has there been a fix?
I have a zapatista one
Gaddafi's Libya, Cuba, anarcho-collectivism, syndicalism, National Communism
Don't announce weaknesses, just silently police in an alienated way and sho on sniff*
...
These bots have the potential to make you strong like never before. If you just let them post you would become masters of this site within a matter of weeks.
They so triggered we're above them now. They want us deleted because we threaten their safe space website. They think we're still liberals.
I know you're going to delete that post too, you retarded little newfag. This board isn't going, nobody cares about what you dipshit templateposting cucks think.
Trying to fix my shitty posting fam. I have a terrible memory on how to xpost.
Probably best not to give them any attention, whenever they try to come over and raid the only thing they do is blabber about liberals, achieve fuck all but getting two month bans, and go back to Holla Forums to cry about the bans.
Oh, and complain about getting called Holla Forums
Normally one guy will obsessively talk to himself about SJWs and tumblr in the Holla Forums thread too.
And here I thought just wanted to shitpose for fun all the time. Weak ass board. The days of random were better.
I checked Holla Forums and you weren't kidding–their pretty butthurt.
This is one of their typical Holla Forums-who-isnt-Holla Forums posters, lying through their back teeth and trying to control the narrative. Just ignore them, their threads about us are always full of larping teenage stormfags and a few bored Holla Forumstards, normally with someone samefagging to hell and back.
Some of them unironically believe that this board has been abandoned by the BO because of the .pl notice, and want to have the board closed down due to one of the rules being you're not allowed to divert traffic away from the site as BO. They also think we're spamming .pl, to make it look like Holla Forums is retarded, or something. A few weeks ago one autist who found out we had grown a couple of hundred users decided to come and be a frogposting retard, then he sperged out when he realised by ban evading 100 times that we were now beating Holla Forums. Just absolute retard tier tbh.
...
????
we flag postan now
you'd think Holla Forums might be more open to leftism
nice trips
Hey Holla Forums, I stopped the spam. The spammer will likely come back with a vengeance, but we can have a respite for now.
Thank you comrade admin
nice one
Youre welcome. Thanks for sticking it out on the front lines of the 2016 spam war.
Keep up the good work
Aye.
Thank you comrade doggo!

Naice.
If it isn't my favorite closet leftist.
Being spammed by reactionaries sucks.
Old Holla Forums seemed apolitical or maybe anarchist.
New Holla Forums is Holla Forums + normalfags
>>>Holla Forums8494953
Reactionaries are paper tigers
it'll be over by Christmas boys! hopefully
ur in my world now xD
THE STORM HAS ENDED COMRADES.
Why not use bunkerchan.org till it blows over.
Report all bots

it hurts my eyes
I CAN NO LONGER CREATE NEWS THREADS ON 8CH.NET, WHY IS THAT?
use the front page, not the catalog
I can't create a new thread on the front page, I would have to be in a board to create a thread. I could no longer create any news threads as of yesterday. I'm wondering if this has to do with new coding of the website…..
I mean the front page of leftypol, the index.
lmao, Holla Forums isn't too happy

TBQH I was pretty sure it actually was them for a bit
Gaddafi was friends with many socialist leaders, dummy

Seriously if we can let people shitpost with the Democrat donkey surely we can get an eco-socialist flag?
Nkvd/Stasi/Kgb flag would be nice.
3 days of unknown errors don't allow me to post.
Oh I finally made it.
This is bad, I have never seen such level of viciousness, this is an well organized attack.
Holla Forums might disappear, It was nice to meet you guys, but especially the Pirate crew (yeah even you Pirateweeb) the Mutualists and edgy Nihilists were the fucking best.
Farewell comrades.
wait what?
Holla Forums is behind the spam? I thought it was that furfag bui.
explain,wtf happened?!!!
You thought it was fucking cute to raid us you little cunts
it was bui
it started on /furry/. They abandoned ship pretty much immediately. I don't know if any demands were made at the time, but in all likelyhood it was like /erp/ in that no warning was given (pic related, the opening of the floodgates in /erp/). As time went on and codemonkey sat on his ass, bui made several demands, a couple people were crazy enough to fulfil them, but of course it didn't make any difference. He just wanted attention. Once /fur/ (the bunker board that /furry/ made to hide from the spammer) started getting spammed as well, they got tired of waiting for cuckmonkey and worked on their own solution: a whitelist script that automatically deleted any post that from an IP that wasn't on the list (there was a sticky you replied to to get on the list). Once bui found out, he lost his shit and started focusing his spam on that post. But when he realized it was hopeless, he instead decided to take out his anger on you guys, among other top boards like Holla Forums. Sorry you got stuck with the tail end of conflict that had already been mostly resolved by that point
who the fuck do you think I am exactly?
tenks
Damn the rage of an Autist ruined Holla Forums and Holla Forums for me.
Other dark forces want a piece of this cake too.
he was socialist himself, can confirm.
yeah its ugly as shit and burns my retinas, I can't stand to browse it for more than a few minutes what the fuck were they thinking?
what kind of demands?
I bet it was sex related, you dirty furries love sex
...
oh yeah, some quick terminology:
bui is a notorious shitposter, attentionwhore, and furfag from way back years ago on halfchan's /vp/. He's done scripted botspam before and people quickly suspected him for this one. And the spammer came out saying "yes this is bui :3"
some people call the spammer "wannabui", because some thing he isn't actually bui, but rather somebody just using his name to escape the blame. There's a couple things that support this, but just as many that go against it, and honestly it'd be better to just not worry about it, bui's a faggot and the spammer's a faggot regardless of whether it's the same person or not.
dam, that banner is pretty good
got any more vanilla comfy fur porn?
it's for research

A FUCKING FURFAG.
Spamming Holla Forums This makes my blood boil in anger.
What is he doing here?
is he randomly attacking us?
or he is a Holla Forumsyp furry Neo-nazi?
learn to read:
Good luck mod.
pls add these. I'm sick of posting as a NazBol.
why no cuba flag still!
yes, it sounds fake, who the fuck puts their email in the spam, after being doxed?
but shouldn't we attack both just to sure?
So why don't we set up a whitelist on Holla Forums temporarily?
bui'geois excess
I can't seem to post anything more than a couple of lines long atm.
Is that the reason? I thought the captcha system was being flakey.
Just keep bashing in the captchas.
Fam.
Check my reddit spacing woah why am I being downvoted
How do I get this bot so I can use it on Holla Forums?
It just keeps getting stuck at "posting… 100%".
1. Do I do a global report or just this board?
2. Who the fuck is bui? I only migrated here from reddit recently
Whatcha doing, Paul?
What?
O-oh, sorry.
1.- A board report is fine, but the botnet problem is over anyway (for now).
2.- Some furry who felt the need to use a paid botnet to spam all popular 8ch boards non-stop (see and ).
Just stopping in to say if you see my IP and think I'm a bot, I'm not. I'm just a mere shitposter.
