Hey there,

I know this is not the right place for this, but it appears to be the only place that people are replying.
I have tried to contact the support the past month to no avail.

I have a bunch of bots streaming/following/liking/reposting my tracks, and since the support is not replying, I tried blocking them myself.
Ofc, I am not blocking 4k accounts by hand, so I wrote something to do this for me.
Except now I get rate limited.

• How many of these requests can I send before getting rate limited?
• Isn't there a way around it?
• Can I get someone to help me with this (it might have messed up my "algorithm" or whatever)?

If needed, I can share my code / the list of accounts I collected that do not look legit (based on follower count and profile picture only) that I gathered.

Good day

Limit appears to be 1000? Do correct me if I'm wrong ^^'

Hey @RuinedYourLife, thanks for reporting
we take abuse and bots very seriously and I'm interested in how did you manage to identify the bots activity as 4K sounds like a big numbers. Can you share your account and which tracks get this abusive behaviour?

Hey!
Pretty much I'm looking at all the accounts that either follow me, like my songs, repost them, cross-reference the data and block the accounts based on certain criterias (number of followers, if they have a default pfp).
I just finished blocking 135 more accounts that liked one of my tracks.
Can we communicate over an other channel if we want to exchange accounts/data/code etc...?
How does discord sound?

Hey there,
No updates over here?
I managed to clean up a bit but I still have my questions unanswered + we did not get in contact.
