Automated Accounts

Postby blue » August 7th, 2013, 7:14 am

This automated account is really, making useless pages in the members page...

Even though they are just harmless profile viewers, they can be annoying at some times such as making the Who is online or users online too mess. Maybe it can waste server space. This needs to be stopped. We need information about them.... I noticed they come in groups during certain times which is suspicious...

They even came when I was the only user online...

Also I noticed some of these also apply to spam-bots.

Suyo, can you see where they are from?

I really wish people would just let spambots stay in peace. it's obvious they're not that much of a problem, and the countless threads of "fixes" or "suspicions" are getting annoying.

Karyete: I don't have anything to say to you, I've been deliberately trying to not offend you for years, actually, but apparently everything I say to you is wrong. You come across as so aggressive that you successfully intimidated me into not wanting to talk to you
Karyete: Seriously, what is your problem? And not only that, you fail to even acknowledge you might be in some wrong here.
Karyete: Oooh it's you? Hello. Feel free to drop this right now. You're going to make yourself look like an idiot.
Karyete: We don't want to hear your opinion at this stage.
Karyete: You're not getting any apology, especially after now.
Karyete: You can stay up on your high horse, continue to twist the truth and act like an absolute child all you want. I refuse to give respect to a man who right now is picking up a dropped argument because he simply cannot fathom the idea that he might be in the wrong.
Karyete: How pathetic

We cant stop them. Its impossible. The precautions we have solve the majority of problems. Like the post approval system.

Spambots are natural for most if not every forum. You just have to live with it.
