Can somebody do something about these 'bots?

Post by jrmy »

I believe that Blooghost has posted about this elsewhere...

At first, I was all "Aw, dood, you're overreacting," but then I logged on to find that they're in every single builder forum. It's getting annoying. Even if it's as simple as killing their posts.

Mods, tell us - should we users be using the "report this post" function more liberally with bots? What would make it easier for you to kill 'em dead?

The forum software allows new users' posts to be put in a queue that needs to be released by the moderator. That might work out on a small forum like this -- would be a nightmare on TGP. I have no idea how they do it over there, but it's simple enough to implement in phpBB3.

I think in the builder forums it's up to the builder, who is also the moderator for their forum, to delete the post.
Maybe a PM to let them know would help. :idk:
As far as the main ILF forum goes, I think the mods do a pretty good job of cleaning up the bot post.

Maybe Sheriff Dalton should deputize someone for the sole purpose of bot removal.
I volunteer my services and vow to defend ILF from all bots foreign and domestic, so help me fuzz, amen.

I,too,could lend my services,as it would be a fantastic outlet for my self-loathing(which is usually alleviated by grudge-fucking myself with lightbulbs)

Don't most forums use those little questions you have to answer so that bots can't sign up? Or is there a way the bots get around that?

I suggest "Fill in the blank: htsamurai is a f_ggot."
