The Great Bot Hunt!

The Great Bot Hunt!

So we have a Bot Invasion Crisis on our hands. If left unchecked the Bots will overrun our board with hundreds....and I mean HUNDREDS of fake user accounts. I have to search hundreds of accounts in search of fake accounts. These accounts are at times very hard to find. Sometimes innocent gamer accounts get caught up in the hunt. It is a sad fact that some innocent accounts get deleted by mistake. However there is a way to avoid this!

I need your help!

How can you help me in keeping the Bot Menace at bay?

First, when you create an account give yourself a avatar. Any Avatar will do. But please keep it clean. After all, we are a family kind of site. LOL not really... but still, lets keep it clean, okay? Avatars are another way I look for fake accounts.

Please make a post in the welcome thread stating who you are and what game you are part of. Also keep making those posts in as many threads as you wish! One marker I look for in the Hunt is post counts.

Lastly let me, your faithful and always vigilant Administrator, know who you are via a Private Message. Once I have your name on file, I can search you out and safe guard your account from the Bot Hunt.

What Happens if you get caught up in the Hunt?

Sadly, my friends, there is nothing that can be done. Once an account is deleted, it is gone forever. However it can be recreated. We can make it better. Stronger, faster....But only together can this be done. Once you see that your account was accidentally targeted, please let me know via Text or Private Message ASAP!

So the Great Bot War continue.

So I had attempted to allow Guests to make posts to the welcome forum. However the Bots have used my kindness against us.

Sadly, I have been forced to ban guests from making any posts what so every. I am sorry however, this is the way it has to be. The Bot Forces are clever and continue test our defenses.

At your loyal defender and Master of Arms, I promise to continue to keep our site free from the Bot Threat for as long as blood flows through my vines.
