Mods of Shadowvale unite! We shall overthrow our oppressive overlords and... well, um... spam? To spam! Back on topic, I'm getting impressed with EndeavorBot's level of sophistication. Why can't normal bots be that clean? -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead. I really, really, really, really hate undead. With a passion.

I think I'm going to abuse a quote from the friendly neighbourhood gun nuts here: "Bots don't spam; people do."

Yeah, it's too bad I can't ban Tyran anymore. Should have done a perma-ban. :P To Spam! Edit: I just noticed that our newest member is another car insurance sales bot. This one it prety apparently.

No, you commented on the Free Movies bot. There was another one after that called FreeVideos. We're getting attacked by ads left and right!

I told you we need a moat. Or at least change the registration form to include a question requiring reading and repeating information from a graphic image to complete the process. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

Originally by Nioca: quote:Yes, and we have been for the past few months. Fortunately, most of them are dumb enough to head straight for the Announcements Forum where they can't do any harm, and the mods deal with the rest fairly quickly. Dikiyoba tries to ignore them completely, since slowly, painfully, and brutally destroying them isn't really an option. Edit: Added quote.

It's a bit depressing to find new bots every time I return to the boards... but I take a bit of pointless satisfaction in rating every one of them as an Imp. I wish there was just a "Smite" option instead of actual ratings. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead. I really, really, really, really hate undead.

There's a couple of times I've considered it, but I honestly don't think they're worthy of a 1-star karma rating. -------------------- I tried to think of something witty to put here. Needless to say, I failed. Posts: 2686 | Registered: Friday, September 8 2006 07:00 |

I think there was a message about some of the numbers getting reused and whether the admins cleaned them out before someone else got a used member number. After all you don't know where some of them have been. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

Originally by Arancaytar: quote:Because I like the view the profiles of our most recent members, and sometimes the "This user was last seen..." feature shows the adbots to be in the Announcements Forum.

Come on, adbots are a great honor! The fact that we get so many shows how popular this board is. Then again maybe not... I'm not sure how adbots choose their victims, but I like to think they go to popular places. -------------------- You lose. Posts: 2156 | Registered: Thursday, August 24 2006 07:00 |

They were hitting the Polaris Interim forum, which was about as dead as they come back then. -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

They're getting smarter, too. Look at this one. It's nice to know we have satudents amongst us. :rolleyes: -------------------- I tried to think of something witty to put here. Needless to say, I failed. Posts: 2686 | Registered: Friday, September 8 2006 07:00 |

I've already ran into that one. Read their first and only post, and conked out halfway. I felt like my brain was liquifying and running out my ears.

Arancayter, I wanted to ask whether you could add a monthly post per day couunt to the stats. I'd like to know how often I currently post per day, and the other post per day doesn't help me since there were periods of time in my stay here where I was completely inactive for months. I was hoping you could add that feature to the Endeaver Bot. Posts: 626 | Registered: Monday, April 25 2005 07:00 |

Easy. I'd already thought about adding it, but put it off for later. I'd code it now, but the Ermarian Network appears to have gone down hard once again. Edit: Back up, and done.
