How to spot a nonconsensual porn account:
0. They're posting photos/clips of *someone else*.
1. They're not part of the community (they don't reply to posts, and they're hardly following anyone).
2. They do a *lot* of hashtag stuffing (30+ hashtags, and they're all NSFW).
3. They post nudes with no credit or attribution (some provide a nod to the model or site, but no links to support them).
4. They don't provide alt-text (because, again, they don't care about community or accessibility).
5. They have wording like "I don't claim to own any of the images I post", and "DM me to have photo removed".
6. They have account names like "XXXPornBot", "Hot4Dick", or "BigNaturals".
7. Their profile photo looks like it was scraped from OnlyFans (and probably was).
8. They post porn photos/clips *prolifically* (and the format is nearly identical).
If you see accounts displaying these behaviors, please report them. They're stealing other people's work and posting photos of their nude bodies without the subject's' consent. It's wrong, and in many places, illegal.
Mods like actionable reports, so be sure to tag appropriate posts and leave a note like "Reposting porn without subject's consent", so we can quickly determine the best course of action.
Lastly, if you like porn, support original content by local creators. There's plenty of it if you look,nand who knows, maybe you'll find some awesome folx and help build a better Fedi in the process.

I just published a blog post summing up my most pertinent thoughts about dealing with badly-behaved web-scraping bots:
https://cryptography.dog/blog/AI-scrapers-request-commented-scripts/
It isn't exactly a Hallowe'en-themed article, but today is the 31st and the topic is concerned with pranking people who come knocking on my website's ports, so it's somewhat appropriate.

Since so many people are boosting this thread I think I'll take the opportunity to mention that I'm available for hire on a part-time or contract basis.
Feel free to reach out if you like my ideas about computer-related topics and have both the budget and need of someone who has such ideas.
I can be reached by Fediverse DM or the contact form on my website:

I just installed the Ultimate Bad Bot Blocker on our Mastodon server. It blocks bad bots, spam referrers, vulnerability scanners, malicious user agents, malware, adware, ransomware, and other harmful bots. It also includes anti-DDoS protection and a Fail2Ban jail for repeat offenders

Grrr. Getting hit by a fairly aggressive scraper on my blog.
Same user-agent, but different IP addresses - all from China.
It is using JS - but I really don't want to put up a CAPTCHA or similar. Deters too many legitimate visitors.
Anyone have a simple solution for WordPress / PHP?
