This is an anti spam bot network. It is named after the viking for no obvious reason.
|
|
|
|
This bot network works great and is made not to be annoying to the server by not connecting all at once. It's caching certain things like user profile / resolved user id's and if a rant already is flagged for example.
|
|
|
|
The bot network removes spam before users of the development community even notice.

## How they work
|
|
One process starts many bots. These bots look at new rants.
|
|
|
|
If there is a new rant:
|
|
1. Check if user has more than five posts. If so, it will not be seen as spam.
|
|
2. It will check certain keywords like hacker / money crypto related.
|
|
3. User will be informed by the bot network that his rant is flagged and what to do about it.
|
|
4. Rant will be downvoted by the bot network making it disappear.
