Spam reporting thread #64

PROCEDURES FOR REPORTING SPAM

Distinguish between the following, and flag the highest level of the violation:

-- Type 1: Irredeemable commercial spam: make sure to flag the member's profile, as well as the spammy activity. This type includes things selling strollers, pharmaceuticals, live-streaming sports games, porn, and/or trying to create traffic/links to sites for such things. Sufficient profile flags will automatically result in temporary suspension and deletion of the member's activity, so use your profile-flagging powers wisely and carefully.

-- Type 2: Teachable moments: DO NOT flag the member's profile, but DO flag the violating activity (e.g. self-promotional Talk post, group, or local venue). This type includes promotional activity that violates the Terms of Service (TOS), but where the member is potentially redeemable, e.g. overzealous authors, overzealous publishers, or other members with small TOS violations but who are otherwise using the site legitimately. These cases should be reported to staff (by sending a message or email to staff and/or or posting on this thread), so the member can be taught how to use the site.

Specific procedures:
-- Overzealous authors or publishers (these fall under type 2): do NOT flag the member's profile. Report to staff here or privately. You can also send the member a polite message pointing them to the terms, mentioning the "no promoting" language, and pointing them to the Do's and Don't page for authors: http://www.librarything.com/about_authors.php
-- Suspected sock-puppetry to promote a book, write fake reviews, and/or stack ratings: do not flag the profile, but report to staff here or by message, so staff can investigate. This is a serious violation for which members can be permanently banned.
-- Profile flags for commercial spammers only (type 1): On the member's profile page, click on the "report for spam" link, then follow instructions to flag the member. Again, this is only for commercial spam, not for "overzealous" authors, publishers, or booksellers, which should be reported to staff instead. See Talk post: http://www.librarything.com/topic/85810
-- Spam or promotional posts in a Talk topic (type 1 or 2): flag the post as an abuse of the terms of service.
-- Spam or promotional groups (types 1 and 2): flag new groups using the "flag this group" link.
-- Spam lists: report in this thread, and flag the member if it's commercial spam.
-- Spam works (type 1 spam): flag the work as spam on the work's editions page, and then vote on proposed work spam. Make sure to read the guidelines before proposing or voting, especially for what is not spam. Voting page: http://www.librarything.com/spam_works.php
-- Spam in a review (type 1), or an explicitly promotional review (type 2): flag the review as an abuse of the TOS, using the red flag.
-- Spam or promotion in "published reviews," or other CK fields (type 1 or 2): post here and/or delete.
-- Spam or egregious promotion/advertising in venues or events (type 1 or 2): post here and/or delete. Note that authors are permitted to add events for their books.
-- Spam in book links / quick links: post here and/or edit to remove spam.
-- Spam author names listed on a work: No current procedure. Tim has asked us not to change CK to indicate spammers, and not to combine spam authors together.
-- Not sure if it's spam? Post here, and explain why.

Please note that Tim has asked us not to use either CK or the combining system (whether works or authors) for spam fighting.

checked one review which is word salad

ETA: the reviews are still growing, over 8,300 now

>4 Taphophile13: Wow, that account's catalog won't even show on the profile page. I've never seen that before.

>5 norabelle414:

that account's catalog won't even show on the profile page

What do you mean? I see the link there. Looks like every other profile page in that regard.

What is odd is that none of the books are in a collection. If you go to the catalog, they are under "All Collections", but if you go to any of the separate collections, there are no books in any of them.

>5 norabelle414: I noticed that too. And free accounts are supposed to be limited to 200 books but with no books only reviews it somehow gets past the limit. Over 8600 now, I'm messaging Lorannen.

ETA: I don't see a link to the catalog. The first line is Reviews.

I know we're not supposed to use combining in a spam-fighting capacity.

HOWEVER

If we combine all of these 8,700+ almost identical spam works together, could we knock them out with one vote instead of having to flag each one of them individually? It seems like the benefit of that might outweigh the risks in this case.

>8 norabelle414: I just sent a message to Lorannen so I would be inclined to leave it as is. The devs might want to see exactly what is going on. They might need to tweak the spam filter again because there was a case similar to this just yesterday.

>6 lilithcat: I was looking for the "Collections" section, which does not appear on the page at all. Usually when I want to access someone's catalog I look for "All Collections"

>7 Taphophile13: There are books associated with those reviews. I've been flagging them.
It's a known "loophole" that free accounts can import as many books as they want in one go, so I assume that's what's happening here.

>7 Taphophile13:

The link to the catalog is at the bottom, just above "Member since . . .", under "URLs", along with the link to the profile. Just as it is on your profile and mine.

>11 lilithcat: Thanks. I never use those links and tend to forget they are there. I always look for Collections at the top.

More than 9,000 reviews now.

I'm happy to jump in and do some flagging if it would be helpful...or shall I hold off til Lorannen has a look?

>14 Marissa_Doyle: With 9200+ reviews it would take a lot of flagging and that would only hide them. Flag away if you want but I think this needs to be cut off at the head.

This member would now rate as the fourth most prolific reviewer if the Zeitgeist were refreshed.

I'm surprised the account hasn't been auto-suspended yet. It's got to have been flagged by at least 5 of us by now, right? I guess it takes more flags when they have books in their library?

Just hit 10,000.

I've emailed lorannen directly, just in case she doesn't see the comment Taphophile13 left on her profile.

nihao001 has just been suspended!

Thanks for the notes about >4 Taphophile13:, folks. I'm not sure why it wasn't auto-suspended, but it was waiting for me in a (quite small, actually) nest of spam accounts first thing this morning (at least, it's still morning where I am). So far, I'm not seeing any other accounts that should have been provisional spammed and were not, but I'm keeping an eye on account flags today, just in case. Fingers crossed this was a one-off.

>19 Taphophile13:

Hurrah!

But I sure hope they figure out how he was able to do this, and how to stop it from happening again.

>20 lorannen: Thank you for taking care of this one. It was ugly. I'm wondering if all the spam works need to be deleted individually or if they will now disappear. I can still see a lot of the works: http://www.librarything.com/work/21870861/editions/156346201

>22 Taphophile13: They should disappear automatically, but it may take a few hours—especially since there were so many of them. If they're still around before I sign off today, I'll sound the alarm and get the developers' to help me scrub the bad data out.

http://www.librarything.com/profile/Nehatandan

Just a note to confirm that provisional spam seems to be working just fine. Other accounts that have been flagged appropriately today have been taken down without my intervention.

It looks like the same thing is happening with one or more private accounts now. See: http://www.librarything.com/work/21861614/members
and if you go to the "editions" page you can see thousands of suggested combinations.

>27 norabelle414:
Here's the author page for the private member works:
http://www.librarything.com/author/app

>28 Taphophile13: This one too: http://www.librarything.com/author/qqdsadsadks

>29 norabelle414: This one is gone now and the one in >28 Taphophile13: is much more reasonable. The "private member" thing can sometimes be a red herring in terms of spam fighting—that many private members (especially on one author) is often an indicator that the members have been removed as spam, but that not all of the data has cleared out yet.

In this case, it was just a matter of time. The account had added a few hundred records, so it took a bit for our servers to catch up and synchronize in removing the bad data. When I signed on this morning, http://www.librarything.com/author/qqdsadsadks was totally gone, and there are currently only 4 works attributed to the other author (I'm following up on those now to make sure they're legit, but they don't match our spam pattern from last night).

>30 lorannen: Ohhhh that's good to know! Thanks!

I'm off this week, so I'm thankful there isn't a lot to report in my corner.

>37 Taphophile13: Me, too. I removed my flag, and there's currently only one left (I'm guessing that's yours). This is just about the best outcome I've seen. Good luck to her.

Just because something doesn't exist on Amazon.com doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. See https://www.amazon.fr/Contes-Bizarres-2-Bob-Boutique/dp/2874595799

Ack! Thank you. (Whoops!)

>88 karenb:

It's definitely something to keep in mind, particularly with non-English language books. Many of those are not available in the U.S, so won't appear on Amazon.com but may be on other Amazon sites (or, of course, NON-Amazon sites).

And small press books are often not on any Amazon site.

Never thought Spam Fighters would increase my TBR pile, but it has. My library doesn't have the book that is the subject of posts 86-89, but they do have another book by the same author, The Decapitated Chicken, and other stories, which I have now put on reserve.

Oh, the irony!

Well, this is going to be a weird one. I'm not sure that anyone here can fix it, and it might be necessary to appeal directly to staff, but it appears that an Enthusiastic Author has been hoisted on his own petard (so to speak). I have very little Spanish, and am unable to read the message posted (which I'm sure was just telling the world about his book).

He's trapped over in Purgatory (aka the spam folder), and his post is tombstoned, but he is merely flagged.

http://www.librarything.com/profile/W.Guevara.Guevara

Here's the work, with his review still on it.

http://www.librarything.com/work/22077232/158192496

According to Google Translate, here's the review (which I'm about to counter flag, since it's been flagged as not a review).

****
The childhood of Mariángel Manrique, is full of happy and very beautiful moments.

But also tragic and painful, which will teach him to know, live and suffer the world in which he was born, in his beloved Santa Rosa de Viterbo, in Boyaca; where he lives his adventures.

She is like an Angel in a strange world ... She finds it difficult to understand the world, she has difficulty understanding people, selfishness, hard hearts and war ... Trying to understand a reality and seeking to explain it in her words , through his innocence.

This is Mariángel Manrique, in this first part of the story, telling and telling his joyful childhood.
****

(Google seems confused on gender in the translation, but the book cover is clearly a little girl.)

I'd rescue the author, if I could, but I cannot figure out how. I also do not trust Google translate to put my standard "Welcome to LT, please follow the rules and stuff."

Help?

>121 gilroy: It does sound vaguely familiar.

ETA: see >113 Taphophile13: above. Similar but not the same.

>119 Lyndatrue:
I can still see the author, so possibly already rescued?

>123 karenb: No, not the case. If you look in the spam folder, the author is still there, and tagged. I just checked, to make sure. I left Tim a message, explaining the issue, but I haven't had anyone from staff respond to a profile comment in quite a while. It makes me sad and discouraged, to be honest.

Ah, well. Life goes on.

>124 Lyndatrue:
Ah, I see what you mean. Maybe the Spam? list derives from the topic entries? The Spam? list has to include user names, but that's because every topic comes from a user. The user name is there, yes, but the symbol next to it is a flag -- as in, click this flag if you want to flag the profile.

If you go to the user profile (https://www.librarything.com/profile/W.Guevara.Guevara), it looks like a regular user profile. I think that means people marked the topic as spam but (as you said) realized that the author is merely being overenthusiastic.

Odd. Checking the Spam folder this morning, I found a couple of threads flagged but not yet down. New member
https://www.librarything.com/profile/1921681254me

is obviously a spammer, but has a paid lifetime membership.

here's the still live thread
https://www.librarything.com/topic/294474

>170 2wonderY: Maybe used the mobile app. That's one way to get a free lifetime membership. The thread is now dead but it wouldn't hurt to flag the profile.

>170 2wonderY: I was going to say that there are few ways to get a lifetime account without paying money, but then I noticed this thread http://www.librarything.com/topic/294480 where a real person who joined recently is unsure about how they got a lifetime account, so there might be some kind of bug going on?

It looks like lifetime memberships are given out randomly at times. I just checked on friends accounts I helped set up as free. Four of the dozen are now lifetime, and I know there was no activity or money paid.

And lifetime status seems to add some resiliency to being flagged out of existence, as the profile in >170 2wonderY: hasn't gone down yet; though no further talk activity.

>173 2wonderY: I checked all of the accounts under "recent users" on the Zeitgeist page (going back to the 28th of July) and more than 90% are lifetime accounts. I don't know if 90% of people are adding through the app, but it seems unlikely to me.

>170 2wonderY: Thanks for flagging me down. I'm looking into it. I've nixed the offending account here, but am still tracing why they got the upgrade.

In theory, there are 2 main ways to get free, automatic lifetime membership upgrades—1) mobile app usage (or signing up via the app); 2) activating TinyCat for your LT account. The former is the most commonly used.

Technically, I believe it's still possible to get the upgrade by importing a Shelfari or Goodreads library, as well.

I've tested signup a couple times on my home machine this morning, and so far, they're staying at the "free" level, as they should.

>175 lorannen: Further investigating by myself and Tim shows that the spammer in >170 2wonderY: had activated TinyCat—that's why they had the lifetime membership.

I'm in the database checking for further discrepancies, but that's this one explained, at least.

It's someone who has been on LT long enough to know better. Here's the post, and the profile. I don't have the energy nor the will for an enthusiastic author tonight. I flagged the post, but someone else probably should point the author to the path of righteousness.

>192 Taphophile13: I'm guessing the author continued to spam after the message was left? S/He's been removed as spam now...

>193 gilroy: Don't know. Although posting in the current movie night thread where Tim has been posting was not a good move.

More flags are needed to squash this spammer.

Author, warned once before, flogging a book again

>203 gilroy: His review of his book also violates site policy, being a collection of other peoples' comments. Though it is marked as by the author now, (Thanks, Tim!) I flagged it as well.

>208 2wonderY: I think this is a grey-area, spam-wise, but it's notable that the first author is playing his own books in some of those thread games:
https://www.librarything.com/topic/292518#6557832
https://www.librarything.com/topic/190778#6557834

Perhaps, but the fact that there are a few years between the creation of each of the accounts suggests to me that these may be cases of not remembering user name/password, etc.

>209 norabelle414: and 211 Good catch!

What caught my attention is the "about me" on SallyLivingWell is a link going to an Amazon page for one of Dhillon's books.

>213 2wonderY: Yes, one of the Dhillon accounts is posting about some of Sally's books on the game threads as well. They're definitely related in some way.

Wait. Looking at SallyLivingWell, I've seen that profile photo before...

I'm a lurker and not a Fully Armed Spam Fighter, but I noticed spam in a book haiku and I don't know how to flag it or identify the member.

I see the spam under Cattaneo's Federalismo, from this page of Recent Haiku:
http://www.librarything.com/more/haiku

>226 elenchus: I don't see any haiku on this page: http://www.librarything.com/work/18147977/descriptions but maybe it's on a different language site?

>226 elenchus: & 227 The CK log says it's in Italian. Odd. That member has a large private catalog. I wonder if there is more spam embedded elsewhere.

http://www.librarything.com/commonknowledge/search.php?f=textid&q=3841926

only shows
INDICE 7, Introduzione di Morris L. Ghezzi 1. Cattaneo e gli Stati Uniti d'Italia 19, 2. Cattaneo, Maria Teresa d'Austria e il controllo locale del fisco FEDERALISMO 33, Nazione armata e federalismo 34, Le patrie locali 36, L'errore del centralismo 37, L'illusione della costituente 28, Un esperimento di servitù comunale 39, Bisogna che le regioni si sveglino 41, Per la libertà dei comuni piccoli 44, Armi e libertà per tutte le nazioni dell'imperio, ognuna entro i suoi confini.

not the spam link shown http://www.librarything.com/more/haiku

This is not a Spam exam I'm familiar with, so I'm just poking around.

http://www.librarything.com/commonknowledge/search.php?t=1&f=57

shows two spam profiles adding haiku to works not specified.

So profiles
http://www.librarything.com/profile/greeceapostille
http://www.librarything.com/profile/chileapostille

have already been suspended.

Guessing they had added spam works that are also gone?

Those names do look familiar.

>230 2wonderY: Well, you dinged the chile one back in >207 2wonderY:

Good. That confirms my theory. So the fact that the material is still in the log that >226 elenchus: points to should not pose a problem, eh?

Thanks for digging in, everyone. I did not understand how the spam was appearing on the haiku page without it showing on the work's haiku summary. Feel better now that others have looked at it!

>232 2wonderY: I think it's not ideal, but it's a problem with that haiku page and not with a particular work

Are we flagging these or just tracking them for Lorannen?

Just tracking. I haven't heard back from Loranne.

Another: http://www.librarything.com/profile/Full

DocDhillon apologizes for promoting his own books in the game threads; worth noting because he specifically calls Sandy Harper his friend: http://www.librarything.com/topic/190778#6560119

(I'm also kind of laughing at the fact that he doesn't even know what books to talk about if he can't talk about his own books)

And these accounts are friending each other. But their libraries are almost identical.

This thread is getting way too long.
