    Just noticed there's a sitebanned spambot spamming in Prison now.

    Is there anything you guys are able to do to limit it, or does that usually happen?

    Spambots are normally sitebanned with a prison ban as opposed to normal users who still need their prison access to appeal. 9 pointed spambots however just get a normal siteban and can still spam prison.

    have banned him, and revoked his prison access, whomever sitebaned the bot allowed them to have access to prison, these bots will just try post anywhere.

    As Spear mentioned, this user was sitebanned by a Mod via 9pointing, this only temp bans a user from the site (automatically giving them Prison access) until an Admin comes along and bans them completely (also from Prison). If that happens again, drop a wee note on the spam thread in feedback and an Admin will get to it.
