Jan. 29th, 2026 01:09 amso an art scammer really saw this dreamwidth account where I have complained about ao3 scambots, said that scambaiting is a thing that you could definitely do on ao3, and mentioned my recent time where I actually sort of did that to draw them into saying something they could be reported for on ao3. And went 'yep, seems like a great target'.
I have a recommendation for them (you know, other than get a real job). Go watch a bunch of scambaiting content. Like Atomic Shrimp. That's fun. Like the "We Probably Mean Harm to Earth" episode. Or maybe just listen to "The Soul called Mr. Barrister John Warosa".
(That being said, thank you Dreamwidth for that turnaround time! I didn't even have to report it.)
