Feed Bot comment thread

lakersforce · 05-19-2007

Seems liked they are flooding the forum right now.

kvidell · 05-19-2007

It's an RSS Aggregating bot I think.

lakersforce · 05-19-2007

All posted by "feeder".

kvidell · 05-19-2007

ah yep, one bot, one poster :-P

c.dric · 05-19-2007

it looks like the bot is going to win all the cash . how convenient

brandx · 05-19-2007

Sorry I accidently turned on a feed that should of been

JoshJ · 05-19-2007

lol.
That looks like the TF Queue.

MRiGnS · 05-20-2007

Grabbing some news feeds for the forum is a good idea but if it's not possible to restrict the bot any further I'm gonna kill myself.

It's really starts to be annoying.

kvidell · 05-20-2007

Here-here.
I like using the New Posts button... Feeder makes that... difficult.

GooFy · 05-20-2007

feeder is ruining the forum. It is posting the same stories over and over again every hour.

that one truly made me laugh

fuscia that is, not feeder

lakersforce · 05-20-2007

Title says it all. At least make sure feeders posts does not show up when using the search button. And it is posting the same freaking story every hour.

Steve · 05-20-2007

Adding Feeder to the ignore list doesn't help

Is there some way for us to hide "feeder" or make posts by real users appear before "feeder"?

MRiGnS · 05-20-2007

just get rid of it entirely

Steve · 05-20-2007

Feeder needs to go on a diet

Wow. That's a little extreme.

It's an experiment. We will be playing with settings and stuff for a while. If anyone has constructive criticism or thoughts, please share them. Well, I guess you can just go off on a wild rant, too, but we'll probably ignore it.

Is there a setting to limit the number of posts or threads started by feeder?

The system can't keep up counting posts by Feeder

Find all posts by feeder yields 442
Find all threads started by feeder yields 442
Feeder's profile says Total Posts: 128 (10.97 posts per day)

brandx · 05-20-2007

Feeder should now behave correctly and not go on a wild posting tangent
