    Christ, I'm surprised you even remember that! I didn't. :p

    Ohh about the hats in the game. Do you actually get to wear them or are they just collectible items?

    Yeah it was a enjoyable Review/Rant.I'm Hoping you do a longer review on it.
    I'll do a full review once I've actually finished it. Apparently that shouldn't be too long, since it's not a very long game, by all accounts. Spoilers though -
    it's really not very good.

    Just collectables, sadly. When you look at them in the collectables menu you do get a 'funny' comment for each one,which Matt Smith (optionally) say out loud, but that's about it. And the other collectables, pages from River's Diary, aren't shown closely enough to actually allow you to read them, which is very annoying.

    Basically, the only reason to collect them is for the PS3 trophies, because they're utterly pointless otherwise. :(

    Yes. But the number of threads seems to go up.

    Funny thing is I don't know either.
    I usually only report one of the threads. Just because the 60 second delay is annoying.
    As I said. I admire your persistence.:)

    I report any I see but If like 90 appear at once I tell them its flooded in the report (report). Thats probably the best way.

    I find it hilarious that this thread has basically become us bitching about the bots... and there's a bot posting in the thread now. Oh, the irony! The delicious, delicious irony! (Seriously, it tastes like fudge cake.)
  • edited September 2012
    I wonder will i get to the end of this episode before tomorrow, Because i want to be part of the help and not the problem, That's why i keep reporting these bots.

    Cake is cake. No matter what it's made of. Unless it's made of lies.

    Do you think the spambots are going to stop for a few hours now?

    No it's not. Bots are a huge problem to these fourms and one of everyones biggest suggestions to help get rid off. It's still a suggestion that we find a way to stop them.

    Well i just don't see what's funny about it. Mods have to go through a lot of crap with these bots getting worst. Coolsome you said you always report these bots and so do i but when i had to report over 10 threads in around 15 or 20 minutes just throught how worst this has to be for mods. Only good thing for mods is i don't think Mods have the 60 second waiting thing so they can delete threads faster.

    I feel for the mods but I don't think its such a huge problem that making light of it is deemed unhelpful. cus you know theres muuuch bigger problems in the world. And its pretty funny a bot got in this thread as were complaining.

    The problem is you are not the one that determines what is funny and what is not. If you think you are please slap yourself in the face until you wake up, so I don't have to.

    +1. The bot/troll posting here while we were complaining about it was the funniest thing I experienced all day.

    Anyone notice they seem to be posting in the BTTF hint & JP hint fourms?

    Nope. I collapsed those subforums because I have 0 interest in those applications of horror & doom.
  • edited September 2012
    That's the thing. Hardly anyone vists those fourms anymore.

    Just post a logical paradox on the sign up so bots will explode.

    Honestly, the handling of bots are something that the mods do best at considering the sheer amount we get. Even then, bots arent really anything but silly.

    Id liken the forums to a garden owned by a wealthy family thats watched over by a bunch of groundskeepers. The members are the plants and the bots are weeds. While caring for the plants can take thoughtfulness, the weeds just need to be pulled. They might keep popping up, but there isnt much that you can do but pull.

    They do keep the Mods on their toes, I'll give 'em that. Along with a fist to the face. They can have that too.
    (The bots, not the mods. Why would I punch a Mod? They're not sleeping with my sister, are they? Better not be.)

    Thought you guys might be interested to see the combined result of the spambots and the new Walking Dead episode.

    Gmail groups them kind of arbitrarily, but those 36 at the top are just today.

    I don't remember doing it that many times tbh.

    typically if i see a group of spam threads, i just report one of them and kind of assume the mod will notice all the other ones there as well.
