I guess we’ll never know.

But seriously, the bots are annoying but I don’t think there’s a way to stop all bots from posting here permanently.

Sorry. I was gone for almost 3 weeks for my wedding and honeymoon. But, I'm back now. I deleted all the bots and their posts that I found. If I missed something, please PM me. I will also be installing some modifications to help deter bots, but it is nearly impossible to prevent them all. If you ever notice anything bad or weird, please report it to me or a moderator via PM. Thanks!

I also posted I don't. I so iritating when you're in the middle of a discussion and some posts:
"I agree" or "you're right."
I mean if everybody does that it's hard to follow the discussion...

As an FYI, I installed several anti-spam modifications to the forums last week and, as far as I know, we haven't had any spam posts since. I will be keeping an eye out, as will other moderators, but please let us know if you see anything bad. Thanks!

I do, spam makes me laugh at how ignorant people can be.
"So, is Dumbledore dead or not?"
"I just had baked potatoes for dinner."

I did just have baked potatoes for dinner. Smile

Sometimes some of the things are actually funny, though. I don't really mind spam, except for when it kills a perfectly good topic of discussion.

I'd rather have more descriptive posts. Don't like spam.
