I’d presume that large scale spammers check their work in incognito via a different network. It’s their job.


check their work... It’s their job

The idea of running UAT for spammers/scammers/troll-farms is pretty depressing.


You would think, I’ve run into plenty of click bots that continue to run for years despite receiving noting but 4xx or 5xx results. You would think someone someplace would monitor that and spin the IP but no reaction at all.

Then there are others where its only an hour or so before rates get adjusted to our threshold and/or new IPs start emitting the same requests.
