Looks like we’ve had a wave of porn bots hit recently. Screenshot is a sampling of what’s popping up on my threads feed when sorted by new.

A heads up to @ernest and to folks with magazines that might get hit by these guys. Looks like they’re submitting from a couple of different domains, so it’s difficult to block them from the user side, and some admin action might be necessary.

EDIT: ernest has removed the accounts and content, looks like all is well.
