this site has a serious bot issue, and how to maybe fix some of it
-
Don't worry about Okara. I took care of it
-
ok
-
my main issue is with the gambling websites, but those are harder to fix, sure, we just change the name to idk @GamblingisBad48 but then more just pop up
-
That's going to be a challenge. To track all of them. Especially since they keep coming back
-
Their ips are different each time

Hi @Yanderemenhera -
The bot issue isn't incredibly horrible it is like you're simply searching for bot profiles, they don't generate post content and mostly just sit in the shadows of our site. Thus, I would rather you to report it instead of posting about a nonexistent issue.
If we decided to add vpn blockers and things to detect these issues it would likely interfere with the Switch users and proxies some of you have to use which is why we have not done it yet.
I'm sure there are services that are simply there to detect bot traffic which is kind of difficult being that there is a possibility the browser information and device information, plus the unusual activity and requests coming from the users on Switch, ultimately could cause the Switch users to be detected as bot traffic and blocked from using our forum.

yeah, that's fair

i'll just delete this post if its just old news, but what you said does make sense raven

It is completely fine to have this here, no reason to do that!
