    Default What is this?

    Had someone come in tonight, pasting some link in my chat, their chat color was highlighted green. I banned them, but they were able to continue to come in chat and paste this link. What gives? Here is what I am talking about:

    Sorry the pic is so small, I had reduced it in paint to 50% because I thought it would be too big here. LOL You can enlarge if you want, but it keeps saying something about camsplay.com

    i have had that too. Twice yesterday, and twice today ( i forget the name yesterday, but todays was the same as yours) they don't even show up in the chat list.
    I was told yesterday they're some sort of bot.

    Do you know what it means when someone's chat shows up in green? I thought maybe it shows in a color because they put a link in and SM is going to go see whether I was trying to send people off site or something. I had a feeling it was a bot since I blocked it and it didn't work. After I banned, they were still able to send that message but were not showing in the list. Weird !

    It's an advertising bot. The green is to make the sentence stand out so you read it.

    Weird. When you perform a search for them in Whois, they're hiding the owner (what a shocker there!) yet in the site profile, they're clearly using Facebook in their site description! There's no way in hell this is Facebook! Facebook is on their own self-titled servers and have their fanous favicon, which is NOT the one you're seeing here.

    Thief, perhaps? In many ways!

    Best to remain leery of any site so desperate that they have to resort to advertising on other websites, as well as steal the name of a well-known website for their description. Cheap!

    What I am wondering is *how* they get their text to be in a green box rather than the typical white or yellow that the normal viewers have? Must be some sort of script they are running.

    It was funny, the other day I had a bot come in and paste in caps a bunch of rude things over and over and it was preceded by a statement of: "Spambot initiated" or something..LOL At least I was able to ban that one. Wish I would have taken a pic of it to post. What they were saying may no sense in english.

    I had this happen 5 times last night. I banned the guys too, but they still came back. It was two different users and two different copy/paste chats/ The thing is my guys couldn't see what was written, only me. So weird!
