Botting Situation Update

Postby Achilles » Fri Dec 14, 2018 7:26 pm

As many of you know, over the last 2-3 months we have been under attack by a group of people who created bots to spam in Town of Salem games, stall lobbies, and attempt to brute force Town of Salem accounts as well as forum accounts.

Today we know who those people are. We have linked IPs from bot accounts to the players main accounts, and we have screenshots from the infamous Grenzeland discord server that was used to organize the attacks where the botters admit to what they are doing.

We will be banning these people from the game and from the forums. There are more people than the ones listed involved with Grenzeland but the major players are listed below.

Bluewave41 - The mastermind responsible for creating and distributing the bot program in Grenzeland as well as account hacking innocent ToS players.
Abizoey - Responsible for the Trashfire spam bots.
Grenzemauer - Creator of the Grenzeland discord server. Known moonman and admitted botter.
DionysiusTragos - Known botter.
Dopamine / Shakira123 - Known botter (ran the “AFK” bots).
WittyRecluse / Rekcah - Responsible for many bot accounts with random letters as names.
BlackLivesRegister - Responsible for the BlackLives and Tituba bots and AutoHotkey scripts.
Cleveland - Responsible for the Cleveland spam bots.

It may come as a shock to find out that some of these long standing members of the community, as well as three ex-Trial Judges, are actually the people behind the bots and hacking. We feel it is important to provide some proof that we are 100% certain who these people are. We will be posting many screenshots from the Grenzeland discord. We have many more screenshots that we will not be showing because we are protecting the identities of the person or persons who helped inform us.


Important information:
Cactus Princess = Bluewave41
Cactus Prince = Abizoey
Invictus = DionysiusTragos
#JUSTICE4PABLO = WittyRecluse = Rekcah

Screenshots of them admitting when they started botting:

We have other screenshots of them targeting our Facebooks, LinkedIn and even my personal home address and mailing me inappropriate things. They also planned to file false reports to the Better Business Bureau in an attempt to tarnish our company name. We would include screenshots of those too, however, again, we want to protect the identity or identities of the source of this information. These people gathered together to attack us in anyway they could think of. It is clear they had no intention of trying to help improve the game but merely enjoyed causing havoc and destruction anyway they could. As a result, these people and any known aliases will be getting banned and permanently blacklisted from both the game and the forum.


There was also an incident purely on Discord in which a user “Roxy” aka “accountingsteve” orchestrated a raid against our community with known moonmen/botters towards a server that was geared towards Town of Salem’s Wiki. A post was was made on Reddit (linked below) where TurdPile said a couple times that the evidence would be made available. We are also including such evidence here, although the user is not technically a botter (that we know of), they were still banned for malicious intent to harm our community.

Original Reddit Post: https://www.reddit.com/r/TownofSalemgame/comments/9ul2n0/being_suspected_of_committing_an_offence_on/

TurdPile’s response #1 (will have to expand): https://www.reddit.com/r/TownofSalemgame/comments/9ul2n0/being_suspected_of_committing_an_offence_on/e954alr

TurdPile’s response #2: https://www.reddit.com/r/TownofSalemgame/comments/9ul2n0/being_suspected_of_committing_an_offence_on/e96nvrb

We hope this brings an end to this incident and those involved will be held accountable.

Thank you to you all who are a part of this community and had to endure these problems. Thanks for staying, being patient, and understanding.

Unpopular opinion: This only glorifies them further. The bots stopped after the transition to pay to play. Banning their tos account is nothing to them im sure. Unless you held them legally accountable in the real world might as well not say anything and just ban them.

But they didn't stop. They turned to hacking into accounts, DDoSing our forums and attempting to get access to referral codes to get other people suspended/banned. They were still active on the forums and Reddit posting criticisms and fake concern trolling every chance they could.

Sheds light on the issue instead of sweeping it under the rug, which is something a few of those named would jump on in a heartbeat.

Now Abi will need to get a real life instead of focusing on hating ToS on would hope. :lol:

The incident resulted in several users getting banned from the Discord Server. (Most of which were unbanned after). But this is only one thing they did to the server over the course of several weeks.
Every so often a account would join the server, not do anything for a few days before spamming every single channel with NSFW images. Or even racism.
All the DMs listed in the imgur album are true. And the raid caught me heavily off-guard as I expected a typical raid.
These users also attempted several times to harass me (With little success) accusing me of being a suck-up and a power-hungry freak.
At the end of the day there is absolutely zero excuse for spamming blatant racism, NSFW images and attempting to bring down a business. It shows who these people really are and they deserve this entirely and any other karma coming for them.

It however, is extremely relieving to hear that this has finally come to a stop, and that the organizers have been punished respectively, and maybe they'll finally move on with their lives.

I dont think this glorifies them, if anything it publicly humiliates them and really makes everything they've said in the past and all their posts complaining and fake caring about the game be absolute rubbish and throws their reputation in the gutter.


I'm glad to know that this has been brought to life, resolved and finished. Funnily enough 1/2 those names are the names of the people who whine and complain the most, trying to stir everyone up.

Good to see the assholes have been brought to justice here.

If you have the IPs, you can 100% go for those who engaged or helped participate in credit card fraud or personal mail/email attacks as a legal issue. Would be more fun seeing these folks arrested in real life for the shit they have caused you for the past few months. Don’t even think they realize how bad credit card fraud truly is and how that ruins your entire life if you are arrested for it.

I’m sure the entire player base is thankful for the stoppage of these people and the shit they have caused to you and the player base.

Thank you, BMG. Surprised you don’t get as much attention to your game as you truly deserve.

I am extremely glad that this happened. It is shameful that trial judges did this as this goes against everything we believe in.

If they are targeting you irl then it is better to start criminal proceedings against them.

Would you guys @BMG actually consider doing this though?

I dont think they should go away scot-free with something as a simple ban. You guys arent some big corporation, you're a small indie company and they wasted so much of your time, money and resources and attempted to ruin your business. I seriously think some of the older ones and more prominent botters deserve some legal ramifications. What they did to you guys personally and financially is NOT acceptable at all.

Pyro said earlier in the thread that they are looking into their options. It may not even be fiscally sound to do that; legal things are expensive sometimes.

So the game became p2p because you couldn't stop a bunch of scripters in a public discord channel in time? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Also weren't the people behind the credit card fraud already found? Why bring this up and link it to some botters?

They wanted to make a revolution!!! they wanted to be in the history books of TOS and to finally make the devs fix retributionist and NK's!!!!! They were on a campaign to make the game better!!!!!!!

/s. They're dumb as hell, hid behind a moral shield (albeit a very weak shield) that i said above when in reality they loved the attention and impact they were making in the game and felt special being a part of something that was (negatively) changing the game. Lonely people with no friends irl so they found solace in the trolling community and wanted to be a part of them because they never were accepted by the peers they're surrounded by in real life.


Also, since Dopamine is now banned from TOS, is their busted by dopamine script for duping reports still in tact? or was that removed ages ago?

Do I remember asking your opinion? Because I don't. I have been around and watching things. I asked same question to Shape and it got ignored so maybe this is where I can get answer of this, meanwhile other moonmans got banned.

Whatever bitter former botter this is give it up, stop acting like you're someone else. Nice to see you magically come out of woodwork after a year of absence just to give a snarky reply to the devs and subtly defend your botting friends. Cute alt acc!


Take out your favorite discord bot and look up my stats. Please back up your evidence before throwing out such heinous claims on an active player you haven't personally seen.

Yes I am friends with some of the people that did botting, and I'm not trying to defend them. I just find this real life witch hunt incredibly silly. The witches were exposed in this post, but they are far from being burned like the previous posts above seem to believe. Botters are going to happen in any game and any platform, you just have to make sure your game and equipment are ready to handle it. There are proper ways to defend against botters, and there are wrong ways. I can think of numerous ways they could have defended themselves against botters before turning to a p2p alternative, and this is what I'm trying to underline here.

Again, I don't claim to be defending these botters, and I don't claim these are their motive, just giving some food for thought. Good and bad aren't as clear as black and white.
