Block Bot - James Billingham's Rat King Sperg Factory and Twitter Autoblocker

[chimpburgers]

There's a ton of work that needed to be done this week with all the rat king threads popping up and all these new cows appearing fast. They just keep growing and growing and many potential ones are probably going to be coming from this Block Bot thing, which appears to be its own kind of rat king and something that Laurelai and his crew hate or have had some kind of infighting with. What is Block Bot and why is it so important? Our good friend and pet sperg Vordrak actually wrote a whole article about what it is and recently, it's been found that Sarah Noble, a notorious cow and major Wikipedia sperg, actually created the UK version of this thing (thanks to a discovery made in that thread by @Hellfire).

http://matthewhopkinsnews.com/?p=3100

There's a lot more on his website about Block Bot and all the drama that's been involved in that boogaloo, but I'll quote some of the best stuff.

http://matthewhopkinsnews.com/?s=BlockBot&submit=Search

What in the absolute fuck?

In this video the Witchfinder exposes #TheBlockBot creator James Billingham, who claims to be against trolling but admits himself on his own website that he deliberately engaged in the practice. Billingham also claimed that one site he joined contained, to use his words, ‘Kiddy Porn’ and whilst he trolled them about it he did not report it. Even if the material was in fact legal these revelations reveal Billingham as a vile, morally bankrupt hypocrite.

http://matthewhopkinsnews.com/?p=1123

When I was doing some searching on M.A. Melby, who has a thread in Lolcow under the rat king tag, I came across a whole list of Block Bot admins who are involved, a lot of them are really spergy from what it looks like. It's not the same exact website that I saw the list, but this one actually has even more names to check out than that one. It's from Slymepit of all places.

You cannot tell the source of a block, so no. Right now, you're number 2639 on the Twitter block bot's "Level 2" naughty list:http://www.theblockbot.com/sign_up/foll ... level.html

I'd suggest to block the blockbotblockers. Makes it harder for them to see your tweets and to get you suspended. Current list:

I was told that Vex0rian is actually one of the major block bot spergs and I think this thread would be a good way to talk about him in some way, because he's been with this project since the very beginning and there have been Tweetsaves of some of his dumbest shit that he has said before.

Tweetsaves:

https://tweetsave.com/vex0rian

Here's Vex0rian talking with a person of interest by the name of FakeRobotGamer, who is an Alison Rapp fan and has left a lot of really crazy tweets on their profile. They look like a lot of fun to me. They are known to be the 7th most hated redditor ever.

Meet Anna, AKA @fakerobotgamer
The 7th most hated Redditor Worldwide

Let’s say you were raised in a heavily religious background, let’s say you are upset with men, scratch that, let’s say you openly state “I hate males” & you are also lesbian. Lets say that you also espouse racism and genocide. Let’s say you actively encourage people to embrace such views and you even have subreddits dedicated to such ideologies. Let’s say that you have a well documented hateful & traceable online track record. Let’s say you apply for a job, and, when they find out about your hateful online track record they avoid hiring you (a conflict-prone person, a liability) but you try to get them fired because they are “bullying you” & you even have the gall play the victim by storify-ing them. Let’s say that the reddit poll of the “10 most hated people on Reddit” is featured on a “little” high circulation site called the “daily dot”. Let’s say the idea is confirmed by the massive audience at the daily dot. Yes, it is unanimously decided you are the 7th most hated redditor worldwide.

Impressively hateful, isn’t it?

With this impressive online CV, @fakerobotgamer got the job. She immediately became my chosen target

So yeah, these are the same people that will get you suspended from Twitter if you do anything that they don't like. This is why they are so infamous on Twitter. Discuss.

The inconsistency of the application of Block Bot is something that makes it an incredible tool to use. It is basically "I don't like you so my friends can't like you" and being an admin with this tool means having power in the circles these people run in. For example @FakeRobotGirl is funny as fuck and I love their posts, but to say it is consistent to leave them unblocked but to block Lady Gaga for not being "sensitive enough" is silly as fuck.

Expect all KF twitters to eventually find their way into Block Bot.

A bit more on the tool.

You can review the entire tool here.
http://www.theblockbot.com/

Spoiler: Levels and how names are added

Level 3: @theblockbot #Block #Level3 please block these annoying people +nym +etc

Level 2: @theblockbot #Block #Level2 please block these unpleasant people +nym +etc

Level 1: @theblockbot #Block #Level1 please block this nasty twit +nym +nym +etc

Process for addition of new blockers: contact one of the admins and if they think you are suitable, have a track record of proposing new blocks that are subsequently added, they will ask the other blockers. If no other blocker has an issue with this person being proposed then they’ll be added by that admin. Blockers are expected to not add any contentious blocks without either talking to other blockers on Twitter DM or ideally mentioning it on the Facebook thread about the block bot.

The admins for the tool are below. If you notice we have threads on two already.

[Online Violence]

I'm familiar with James Billingham and the forum he's talking about. It's called the Slymepit and was involved in the whole Atheist+, Freethought Blogs nonsense. Basically a bunch of internet refugees exiled for wrongthink against the holy doctrine of feminism created their own forum to talk shit about the places they were excommunicated from. Ironically (if you accept Billingham's moronic narrative) created by an actual female scientist as opposed to the humanities major dangerhairs spouting pseudo-science who think they should have all authority. Unsurprisingly the only child porn to be found was posted there by Billingham himself. He goes by the handle of Oolon on the web, apparently taken from the dragonball pig, which is appropriate given his appearance.

FakeRobotGamer/RobotAnna is part of the Rat King, too. It was sort of touched on in that blurb in the OP, but they were Laurelai Bailey's "even more radical" appointment for replacement mod of r/LGBT when that subreddit was starting its implosion.

There was a list of tweets published by "block bot" in 2013. ctrl+f "RT" and look who they are Re-Tweeting. It is like a who's who of lolcows and Rat King. Like its either people we got threads on or people we are about to have threads on.

Block Bot has been criticized for a number of reasons both based on technological and legal reasons.

Spoiler: Problems with Blockbot

Being blocked on twitter by a bot such as this can mean problems for those who are blocked because they could be investigated by twitter and possibly have their accounts suspended. Billingham aka @oolon has said that he feels that those who are Level two and three will avoid a suspension but he isn't Twitter and those promises are not based on any empirical conclusions of testing Twitter algorithms. For this reason, some people could be found to be spammers or abusive.

From Twitter in a Skeptools article:
While manually reviewing every Tweet is not possible due to Twitter’s global reach and level of activity, we use both automated and manual systems to evaluate reports of users potentially violating our Twitter Rules. These rules explicitly bar direct, specific threats of violence against others and use of our service for unlawful purposes, for which users may be suspended when reported.

Other problems include a lack of a paper trail and not understandding what the levels mean. The below article spells this out well just go down to "The Block Bot"

https://skeptools.wordpress.com/2013/08/01/block-bot-twitter-report-abuse-ool0n-atheism-plus/

@oolon is p unstable himself and should be considered for a thread. below is an example of him being exceptional on the online.

Ultimately, @oolon wants to create a nicer safer web for trannies

You were completely right about that, so they get a thread now.

[Chemical snorfare]

Circles within circles, wheels within wheels.

One of the most vitriolic attackers of Ophelia Benson (a cow that I am watching) when she was chased off FtB for being a TERF was M.A.Melby.

Basically Melby pulled the pin on the hand grenade by asking Benson directly "do you think trans women are women?"

The reason this is pertinent to this thread was that Benson ran to Cathy Brennan's Gender Critical facebook group and asked for support in how to (disingenuously) counter the attack and was caught doing so.

what Melby has cut off from the bottom of that post (and what I have spent the last hour unsuccessfully trying to track down) is the reason Benson is so scared of answering the question directly.

She explains that the questioner is one of the creators of the block bot and leaves unsaid what every SJW knows, that they created a monster which was going to eat them all one by one.

 

[Mr Blobby]

Whatever did happen to the block bot? Big plans to improve and expand, outsource to IT professionals, but has seemed to died a natural death. Pity as I only got to a paltry level 3.

[Nykysnottrans]

Blocking the BB devs and their spies won't prevent you from getting blocked. You are just playing a game of whack-a-mole because these people use different accounts. (Their supposedly discontinued accounts, like the vex0rian one, are still online because they still use them despite what they say.)

I think a better strategy is to block the following three accounts:

https://twitter.com/BBlevel1

https://twitter.com/BBlevels1and2

https://twitter.com/BBlevels12and3

I haven't been able to confirm yet but these appear to be the three accounts that BB censors use to feed people directly into their BlockTogether blocklists. The theory is that by blocking these three, they can't block you because they can't feed you into their blocklists.

If you are already blocked by the BB bunch on BlockTogether, you won't be able to see one or either one of these, depending on which level you have been blocked. If you are blocked at level three you won't be able to see either one of the three.

Another account you should block is this:

https://twitter.com/block_review

This is the account the BB censors use to decide whom to block. The reason this account is locked is to prevent you from seeing what triggered your getting blocked.

You can also block https://twitter.com/TheBlockBot but this doesn't seem to do much. People who have ended up on a level 3 block can still visit and see https://twitter.com/TheBlockBot which is extremely deceitful and is meant to prevent you from being able to tell whether you've been blocked.

I came across a whole list of Block Bot admins who are involved, a lot of them are really spergy from what it looks like. It's not the same exact website that I saw the list, but this one actually has even more names to check out than that one. It's from Slymepit of all places.

This list is old and outdated. I have made a new list based on this one, since some of these censor maintain multiple accounts. I have also highlighted the accounts that have been suspended by Twitter to show what hypocrites these self-appointed censors are that they violate the Twitter ToS themselves:

Many people are wondering who this vex0rian person is, so here are some pointers to help you along:

The vex0rian Twitter account was registered in 2011 but it seems to first actually become active online around 2014 during GG. That when people begin retweeting and mentioning vex0rian's tweets

https://www.themarysue.com/twitter-users-mad-about-gamergate-block-bots/

This guy called Isaac was posting many of vex0rian's tweets on Facebook in 2015, 2016 and 2017:

Jacob is a censor who thinks that having an appeals process (like Twitter has, the very platform this hypocrite is using right now) is "boundary violating": "I've thought a bunch about building appeals into Block Together. Worried it would encourage boundary violating."

[Nykysnottrans]

Guys, it has come to my attention that the Twitter blacklisters have become aware of the fact that I've listed their accounts here to stop them from blocking people, so over the winter they have created a whole new slew of block accounts that they use to feed people into their BlockTogether collective censorlists.

This means that pre-emptively blocking the accounts I've listed here does appear to actually work. If you block them first, it will prevent them from adding you to a blocklist.

The new accounts to block are the following:

https://twitter.com/ashleyjaycooper (the operator of TERFblocklist)

GabhalBlocker (@GowlBlocker) | Twitter

The latest Tweets from GabhalBlocker (@GowlBlocker). Blocklist for any or all of the following: racism, bigotry, xenophobia, far-right, anti-LGBTQ, anti-choice, misogyny. Blocking myriad gowls! DMs open 💌. Ireland

twitter.com

Harassment Block List (@BlockHarassers) | Twitter

The latest Tweets from Harassment Block List (@BlockHarassers). This is a block list to block harassers. Message me if you have any info on people harassing(ex. sexism, ableism, homomisia, transmisia, etc.) you or others

twitter.com

ADWBlocklist (@ADWBlocklist) | Twitter

The latest Tweets from ADWBlocklist (@ADWBlocklist). Click the link below if you’d like to block the Autistic Dark Web and others who abuse autists

twitter.com

Abusive Truscum Blocklist (@TruscumBlock) | Twitter

The latest Tweets from Abusive Truscum Blocklist (@TruscumBlock). We block truscum who harass, attack, & abuse others. DM us with suggestions. Link below to subscribe to the list

Wooloo's Aphobe Blocklist (@AphobiaBlocker) | Twitter

The latest Tweets from Wooloo's Aphobe Blocklist (@AphobiaBlocker). This is the aphobe blocklist. Admins: 1) Kevin he/him -☀️ 2) GJ they/he -🆔 3) Skye she/her -💜 4) Nerve they/them -🐕‍🦺 5) Ed he/they -🌷. Inclusionville

twitter.com

Also block https://twitter.com/midoriya_shouto
and https://twitter.com/mylittleyuri the account of the operator of AphobiaBlocker

Terf Turfer (@TTurfer) | Twitter

The latest Tweets from Terf Turfer (@TTurfer). Helping you block TERF infestations. TERF/Troll BlockTogether blocklist at https://t.co/9HMqOuq9wc

twitter.com

These were all created in the past couple of months.

I am guessing that they created TTurfer because feminists on Twitter learned about the TERF blocklists and started blocking them pre-emptively, so they had to create this new list. This is another indication that pre-emptively blocking these accounts that are used to run collective blacklists actually works.

If you look at TTurfer and BlockHarassers, you will see that these two accounts have very likely been made by the same person. They have a similar layout and they both have the pinned tweet at the very top asking snitches to submit victims to them via DM.

Use these two as a template to recognize similar ones and please add to this update if you've come across any.
