Chaturbate should be more worried about the growing amount of fake exhib accounts with token scam banners over top of them and the report button.
 
I'm not a broadcaster, just a viewer who tips my favorite models, but I've noticed something else happening on CB. Last night I checked my profile and under my "Bio" section I noticed that I had over 25 followers. Several of them from a user whose named incremented in the range of "kinkygirlj8x_103" through "kinkygirlj8x_513". Each one of the "kinkygirlj8x" names all contain a "bit.ly" link in the "about me" section of their bio's. I make it a practice of not clicking on bit.ly links, so I just figured it was some kind of scam to get me to click on the link and I wound up just blocking all of the followers.

Could these be bot accounts as well?

Yes, Chaturbate has been getting hit hard with these lately. They're diabolical. Some have buttons that claim to direct you to a Chaturbate affiliated site (yeah, right), and since profiles can contain HTML code they cover up the "Report Abuse" button and anything else they don't want you to use. They run the same handful of recorded videos.

These profiles pop up, someone bans them, then two more pop up. CB doesn't seem to have any idea how to stop them automatically.
 
easy make it so you don't get to make a profile on exhib accounts until you have logged 2 or 3 hours broadcast time on the account.

doesn't ad blocker stop those just like you can remove DMCA badges with it?

??? I thought there were two kinds of accounts, exhibs who can't receive tks, and verified models who can. how can you broadcast without being one or the other?
 
The issue is exhibs making profile contained transparent images which are placed all over the screen including blocking the report button. One of the overlay images includes an offer to get free tokens. Clicking anywhere on the screen redirects you away from chaturbate to an afilliate traffic dating site.

They put crap in their profile.
I say block the ability to put anything in the profile other than name location age sex until they have run up a few hours on the account.

In mozila if you right click and choose inspect element and keep tapping delete on the page eventually you can hit the report button.

aaaaah I get ya.
 
I just reported 15 of these account in the last 10 minutes.. they are relentless clearly the weekend is the time to run this scam to get affiliate traffic
its like whack a mole!
 
just completed 50th report this evening
and still they keep appearing!
 
its Sunday night where i live,, now monday morning !
I got a better idea since CB can't deal with it how about get rid of the entire wall of dicks section (aka exhib page)
 
Exhibitionist cams will still show up through tag searches, and the scammers make sure to include all the popular tags to get everyone who is searching with a tag.

Also the exhibitionist page makes me feel better about my body and general appearance.

Sounds you needed to go to bed, Mr Cranky.
 
I think it's because I work on Streamate I can't really relate to community because it is practically non-existent. Most of our traffic is probably from sites like porn hub. Guy just wants to jerk off real quick and go on with his life.
Do you ever get members who bring up non sexual subjects to you in exclusive chat?

Sometimes. I have had guys who pay for exclusive just to talk one on one and not be interrupted by free chat. I have had regs who would buy blocks, half the show is talking and the other half is sexy fun times.
 
One can buy chaturbates accounts with tokens on black hat forums. I don't know if actual owners will even notice that their accounts are misused.
 
Chaturbate support begin to ignore all my reports, so I think they think that their bot prevention system works well.
But it does not :( If one day bots does not work for the model, the next day will work well.
So bots will be on the chaturbate from now in many many rooms, especially Latin America rooms and Russian rooms.
So chat disconnects, lags and bugs will be always from now when too much bots on the chaturbate site :(

P.S. I do not decided yet write all technical explanations how to do bots here or not, because if chaturbate can not block or do not want to block bots, maybe better for all use bots in every rooms, so viewer counter will be unusable for those who use bots now
 
Right now CB remove own protection or configure to lightest settings, so using bots on the cb right now is too easy.

Many russian-speaking models from bongacams migrated to the cb and I think many dickhead customers followed them. And its too bad for relatively normal viewers like me.
 
I think CB totally disabled own protection because all rooms that use registered viewers bots right now always on the first places less than in 30 minutes (more than 1K registered users in less than 10 minutes after show starts). Typical example innocent_doll1 room. When CB protection worked well they can not achieve any of the first places.

P.S. CB support totally ignores all my emails and reports :(
 
I'll be honest here, megafapper, i'm not sure what your intentions are. That you are engaged in a forum with somewhat disputable topics didn't help your cause here. I have the feeling, that you're mostly concerned that YOUR methods to push models don't work anymore as they used to.
 
@Blond_mermaid Yes, I can do this for any model, and it is true. But I don't want to do this and I don't have a free time for this. This is a high quality work and any work must be paid.
Also cb can not hold more bots now. And if I do this all cb will be unstable all the time.

For me is much better stay as client, who is a half tipper and a half free loader. That's why I liked cb - I don't have to pay for anything, because sometimes I have a free money and sometimes not.
All pretty models that I watched before goes away from cb to mfc. But I hate mfc, because of low quality video and epileptic user interface :( Cb has a much cleaner interface and better quality video.

A two hours ago was classic situation of bot wars when several models started to use own bots. Cloudflare (CDN used by cb) has a limited amount of rules even for the enterprise clients. So today cb has bad connectivity from many internet locations.
 
I don't have a free time for this.
You seem to have a lot of time to note, document, and report your findings about bots here, though.

Maybe give it a rest, hmm?

It's not a lot. Writing code and configuring farm of bots takes a much more time. I did it before for twitch and I don't want to do it again :(

It was just a mild jab at you, I know.

Really though this isn't something worth you spending any of your cares about, so I suggest you just enjoy the site for what it's meant for and ease up on the sleuthing and whatnot. The fact this thread is 3 pages long is a little facepalm worthy.
 
Last days main page of the cb is much cleaner from low quality rooms that usually used bots.
Yes, some a little amount of models is still using bots, but right it mostly does not affect to the main page.

I'm totally satisfied!
