Is there a mechanism for banning/reporting spam-bot new fans in bulk?
I've been added as a fan by several spambots in quick succession once again, with the only suggestions being to stop my Plurks being world-viewable, and to ban each spambot individually.
There's no evidence that Plurk admins are taking the spambot issue seriously.
I shouldn't have to go through the same several-click sequence two dozen times in the next 24 hours -- if I find that I'm required to do that, should I just delete my account and abandon Plurk as clearly not competent to retain me as a user, as I should perhaps have done last time this happened?
(see similar topic from me in October 2008)

Inappropriate?What are the spambot nicknames?

Inappropriate?This is not a question about the individual accounts concerned, it's a question about the available mechanisms for addressing this when it happens, and ensuring that it doesn't happen in the future. Failing to understand the nature of the question isn't helping to soften my attitude to the system.
Three in ten minutes between 18:37 and 18:47 GMT today 27/2 (malc, cozbun, kevbird) all of which are empty accounts created very recently -- a pattern very similar to the start of the flood which occurred 9th October 2008.
I’m not yet getting an answer

Yes. I am looking into the situation and your attitude isn't helping either.
The best way is to report it to us either using the contact form or getsatisfaction.
Now that you've provided the names, I can look into it to see if it is an automated bot or not.
