Are they really approving these new accounts before letting them post?
so i doubt the solution will come shortly,
say, 6-10 months until they come up with something
Uuggh x(
If you have a better idea on how to deal with it then please speak up. Someone suggested to only allow 1 post per day for people with under 1000 rep, but 1000 rep would take forever to get for new players with only 1 post a day. The bots' usernames are fairly real-looking so it's hard to spot them that way. They're probably using VPNs so IP blocking wont work.
The only thing I can think of is to add new mods, probably people in other timezones so that they always have mods that are awake. But I would imagine it would be hard to know who is trustworthy with power. Maybe a long-term player from EU who is uncontroversial and liked by everyone? @TNinja
The VFMs are trying our best to keep things are clean as possible, and I apologize that it's not enough.
Just a passing thought.
Oh hey, someone likes me.
I like this idea. Maybe like one of those forum 'Welcome' sections where they introduce themselves and such. They would be allowed one post (?) and if it's a bot, then a mod can easily delete and ban. It would be less work for them too.
and if bots get smart enough to act human-like for approval.. well.. I'm not sure.. we'll just have to get there first.
I say hire new people, who are regulars, and who follow the rules of the forums. These people obviously have time and understand the boundaries that shouldn't be crossed; let's use this as ammunition .-. I know one lady who would be an amazing choice even if she can be a tad sassy @Greta
@TNinja
@Sherri
@Hardmuscle are also great choices. They may have different opinions and can be sassy, and they might not be liked by the minority, but they have been rather helpful to new players and old players alike. They're here on the daily, and can help a lot in the down hours. I say they're probably some of the best choices.
Everyone mentioned except me liked that post. I'm a rebel. :^)
Spambots are an anomaly. While I'd be thrilled with an addition to the team, it definitely shouldn't be because of the spambots, in my opinion. It's also a bit unfair to say that we're getting packed with things irl so we have no time. We put as much time as possible. But, we are human and spam bots are not.
That is not going to work, you cant fight IP block with IP random, every forum i know always has these and all fail to block the correct IP because people use different IPs.
Might as well make watercat a VFM too while we're at it.
