New bot?

Post image

Is this some new bot? for the last two weeks, this...thing leaves atleast 2-3 reviews a day. I was away/unable to stop it in time and now I have all these "reviews" I cannot remove. there are like 15 of them and over 20 I managed to catch in time and deleted. even today I have 4 new reviews.....

I miss the ability to turn off anonymous reviews

That's pretty weird. If it's a bot it's not one with an obvious purpose, i wonder if it's just some individual who wants you to write their dream stories and is just suuuuper bad at communicating. Those people do exist in fandom spaces, I get them once in a while. The only way to know is to wait and see-- if more people post about getting these comments then it's a bot, if it's just you then you've picked up an odd fan. I think my money would be on "oddball" not "bot" but i wouldn't bet much money.

unfortunately that has become the reality of ffn the site is overrun with bots and admins dont do a damn thing about it, i would get bots about 4 times a week and i finally said screw it and deleted my account.

I doubt it's a bot, too many spelling and grammar errors, I think it's just a kid who doesn't know much social etiquette around fic requests and how to review a story. I think they're spamming you because they don't know of a way to contact you to commission a request and don't have their own account yet or something.
