The bots keep looming, sending everyone links not to click.
Your patience while the problem gets permanently resolved is greatly appreciated, and thank you for posting about it, warning one another about the new accounts, and flagging them in great numbers.
But there is something you could do that would also help:
It would be to take the links from the profiles, when possible, and send them to a curator.
(They don't message us. Figures.) This way, we can try to ban the accounts as fast as possible, and perhaps limit some of the damage.
Do not hesitate to flag!!
Because it truly is a great help! And the bots' profiles do not do any harm. Seeing as they are automated systems, it seems that they do their work incredibly fast, though. They are created, send out messages, then either self-destruct, or are flagged enough times to be banned without our needing to do it. Still, some escape our grasp, so do not hesitate to send me a link when and if they happen to contact you.
We will keep you guys updated as the matter evolves.
