I don't mean to beg, but...
« on: January 08, 2013, 09:24:22 pm »
Lately, I've seen a lot of bots registering on the forums. Seeing that, I get the irresistable urge to want to use the banhammer. I can imagine it's a tedious job, but I have unusual hobbies as it is. I would like to request elevated permissions so that I may perform pest control. I feel I can reduce the user base to those who are actual people. Bots put ads in their signatures, so they're effectively painting a bullseye on themselves by doing that.

Thanks for hearing me out.

I don't really see the banhammer as necessary. It won't stop new bots from appearing, and I doubt that they all use the same IP address.

Oh I know. But to me they're like bubble wrap. It's so tempting to smoosh.

Even more reason you shouldn't be given those kind of responsibilities! :)

Erm.... I guess? I'm not really into being a mod, but I like keeping things pragmatic.
