Bot Reporting 2.0

[ArenaSnow]

@Shoryu Magami I can't say for certain nor do I have any definitive information, but I believe RPG is being targeted with a little more attention than being on a simple signup list for regular bots.

(So you all know, my network went down, and I'm currently on a public network using my phone. I hate posting through a phone, so until this is sorted you won't hear much from me.)

@ArenaSnow
Right. Well since I never saw bots get through any of the InvisionFree boards I witnessed, I would image some systems for blocking bots are more reliable than others. If this place is a hotspot for bots, it only further validates the need to do something. This is ridiculous.

@Shoryu Magami
I haven't familiarized myself with the site's backend, so all I can really say is that Mahz could use more effective means of taking out bots. It is, however, a street I personally wouldn't want to be on - he built this forum ground up for publicly accessible to all roelplaying, which means adding various measures of inconvenience for people registering = there goes potential folks... a balance between accessibility and fighting spam.

Personally? I'll take the spam as it is now over driving folks away with more harsh measures - roleplays go on uninterrupted, with the only things actually being disturbed are interest checks that need rebumping after a wave.

I can't go after Mahz very much given while I have done stuff with websites, particularly in the distinction of security, I haven't worked with something that quite fits this scenario.

I agree that so long as the RPing remains mostly uninterrupted, it's not a huge issue, but honestly I don't see how people having to go through a simple procedure to get accepted is going to put off too many viable members. If they're not interested enough in the site to do that, they're probably not going to be very active once they join anyway.

If this really does go on for too long without any sort of real solution, I might be able to assist with the security issues. Not personally, mind you, because I'm not computer savvy at all (like I keep telling people, I've only had access to a PC for a short time compared to many people in this era who seem basically born introduced to them), but I know some people who might be able to.

At least they bother to put it in a language more suitable to the audience.
