    Wait, you mean to tell me that you guys don't like the spambots?

    Oh, well, I guess I'll tell them to stop, then.

    The only guaranteed bot protection is removal of user input. Or in other words, no one can post anything.

    I like how this guy talks like a robot before the usability programming kicks in and tells us what he means in the common vernacular.

    I demand to be compensated for this emotional/psychological damage caused by bots.
    Im not the same person as I was before bots , a this must be fixed cuz this is not allowed according to US and international law.
    I have clear trauma caused by DoG indirectly cuz they don't stop bot attacks.

    I have floccinauciniliphicated your mind and I find it unusual for a person to ask for a worthless thing to be compensated.

    I have floccinauciniliphicated his mental condition, mind and emotions, etc . any loss of functionality or dammage to these parts and thus the loss of worth I have assesed these parts to be will be paid in full.*

    @Senshu If I might recommend, they should have forums check to see if you have ever logged into PoxNora (it will be in their database); and use that to prevent posting. It would cut down on the spam considerably since they are usually focused on getting an account on the forums; not playing the game itself.

    No, since all you have to do is login as Leadrz account once and you have resolved the issue. It should also be noted that to set it up it will likely require assigning a group with the privilege to post so that everyone who creates an account can still read the forums. If you want to post you just have to launch the game once and you get moved to the group that can post.

    With the way permissions work, they could also create a welcome forum where anyone can post regardless of play status so those with questions can still ask, but if spam shows up it doesn't annoy the majority of normal forum users since they can't post in their typical forums.

    This assumes that he has access to that account, which he may not (or it may even be someone else's account).
