Can we *please* nuke the fucking bots?
-
Surely I can't be the only one who finds them more annoying than funny?
-
unless @pjh says that we should nuke the bots I'm going with... no?
As far as i am aware everyone who has written a bot has been careful so that they only show up in the likes thread and/or when @mention summoned... so it should actually be fairly easy to ignore them.
-
I really like the bots. They've not been too intrusive so far in my opinion.
-

Which entirely fucks up the likes thread. I came home from work to 100+ unread posts on the likes thread; approximately 99Β½% of those posts are cuntbot, twatbot and spasticbot1 circlejerking each other. They're thread killers. A barrier to civilised (or uncivilised) discourse, if you will.Turn the cunting things off or put them back in the fucking bot battle thread until the fucking twats running this project decide to implement a way to totally ignore certain "users", y'know, like every other fucking forum software ever.
1 You have no idea how hard it was to not put some of our humans in that list...
-
I'm sensing frustration.
-
With the multitudinous flaws of this pile of excrement software? Yes.
I don't mind the bots themselves so much, they're kinda funny despite being enormously repetitive.
If it was possible to automatically ignore / remove the bots' posts, it wouldn't be an issue. If Pissforce didn't wrap everything with 400 fucking pixels of whitespace so you can't show more than 2 posts per page and have to scroll page on page of bot-drivel, it wouldn't be an issue.
But it's not, and it does, so it fucking is.
-
Would you like to take out your anger by flagging @CodingHorrorBot? I always find it immensely satisfying.
-
@Keith Is Doing It Wrongβ’<t3213p7>
-
Flagging would be playing the Dicsourse game. I will therefore continue to rant impotently.
-
The "improvements" to CodingHorrorBot which caused the bots to keep responding to each other got removed, so that's some of that gone.
-
Solution, likes thread is for humans, bot like thread is for bot circle jerking to stress test discourse?
-

Works for me. Although I might prefer
likes thread is for humans, meta.d is for bot circle jerking to stress test discourse?
-
Now now tufty. Meta.d already has a codinghorror bot that circlejerks.
-
They are the opposite of funny. Automatons can't be funny. The word "automaton" is slightly funny, however.

There's one some asshole wrote that follows me around and likes whatever I post, no matter what topic it's in. Fucking irritating as shit.
-
They're barely automatons at all, largely a few triggers and one response. That's a large part of what makes them so tiresome. They don't even meet the sort of "reasoning" Eliza did.
-
Fear leads to anger, Anger leads to hatred, Hatred leads to the dark side...
LADIES AND GENTLEPERSONS! IT IS MY GREAT HONOUR TONIGHT TO PRESENT TO YOU FOR YOUR VIEWING ENJOYMENT... DARTH @TUFTY!
-
I came straight in at "hatred", although I may have made a diversion back via "anger".

You rang?

Automatoes?

Actually, yes they can - but when it happens, it's in unexpected ways.
-
Hatred leads to the dark side...

I completely missed that, and I'm in there conatantly. You sure you aren't confusing it with the bot playground?
-
If it was possible to automatically ignore / remove the bots' posts
Well, your post has
data-user-id="296"
on it, and I think the bots also have user IDs, so it's probably possible to write some custom css that hides the bots' posts. It won't help with the "new" notifications, but you can make them 1px tall and then you'll only have to scroll 1 pixel to mark them as read.
-
The bots have user ids. they're regular users we have automated.
-

For what it's worth, you'll never have to worry about me doing that.

Wait, you're following the Likes thread by hand?
You're Doing it Wrong, you should get yourself a bot.

well that wasn't mine. I seriously considered doing that, but decided against it. that would have been mean.
sorry someone decided to do it anyway. :-/... really discourse? what emoji you choose to support and what you ignore really baffles me at times.

:suck_my_huge_dick:
yeah i just don't get these emoji

-
Wait, they have a lesbian emote? Wat.
-
I feel bad for yellow and blue. They clearly aren't getting as much action.
-
-
Wait
There was a man and a woman.
They had a boy.
The father divorced the mother and married his son.
The mother became a lesbian.
The end.

Slow clap. . .

:suck_my_huge_dick:
They just are to smart and know you shouldn't be exaggerating like that.

Family trouble, Ben?

wow, so when 2 men or 2 women hold hands they are just holding hands, but if a man and a woman hold hands they are a couple?
fucking heteronormative discourse emoji. if I didn't have a cock in my mouth and one in each hand right now I would seriously be getting ready to complain.

How do you type with [s]boxing gloves on[/s] a cock in each hand?

Since I am giving rather than receiving, my own genitalia is available for completing that task, It has become quite adept at the task over the many years I have been practising.

Your quote has changed my post in a way that raises further questions.

... my mental filters were not prepared for a post of that magnitude...
My brain has shut down to contain the damage while my subconsciousness is frantically trying to erase all memories of your post and the mental images it caused.
well done kind sir or madam. well done.
-
I don't check for discourse when I quote people. Maybe I am doing it wrong?

Yes. Men and women can't be platonic friends. No matter what the woman thinks is going on.

You really went there?
