Have you noticed strange things happening to your lurve lately?

Asked by longgone (19795points) February 21st, 2023

We’ve been dealing with a former jelly artificially inflating many people’s lurve score. He’s doing this by creating new accounts and sprinkling lurve here and there. Obviously, that’s against the rules. We’re deleting the accounts as soon as we see them (thanks for all the flags). Removing the illicit lurve is a separate step, so you might notice your lurve going up and then down again at a later date. If you notice your lurve going up a hundred points or more within a day, you’re being lurve-bombed and can expect to have those points taken away again. We appreciate PMs when this happens.

Do you have any questions about this?

Thank you for the work to keep the perpetrator away. It must be exhausting.

This is extremely frustrating and tiresome for you. What a pain in the ass! Thanks for the update and all the hard work! Understand about the lurve.

Have you figured out any way to get rid of them permanently?

Do you know who is behind the lurve spamming?

I’ve noticed this problem all day today. Interfering with this site. I have been chasing this threat as much as I can, he is persistent. Also that’s probably why my little problem has not been addressed, but I am very patient.

@KRD Yes, we know who it is. Thanks for the flag!

@janbb Yep, we’re working on it. Sorry for being vague. Providing specifics would defeat the purpose because we’re in public here and don’t want to advertise our plan. But hang in there for just a bit longer.

@longgone I wasn’t asking for any specifics. I understand.

@smudges I don’t hate you, but you’re going to eat worms?

How do we know if an account is a spam account?

LOL @KRD I was answering @JLoon. Haven’t you ever heard the rhyme that goes:

Nobody loves me, everybody hates me, I’m gonna eat some worms. Urp! down goes a little one! Urp! down goes a big one, ooooooh how they squirm!

Nobody loves me, everybody hates me, I’m gonna eat some worms. Urp! up comes a little one! Urp! up comes a big one! ooooooh how they squirm!
