Comments Now Require Registration
I am sad to announce that you now have to <a href="/bots/register.php">register</a> to post comments.<br /> <br /> The spam got too bad. To give you an idea of just how bad it was, as of this post, 447 of 597 (roughly 75%) comments had been spam. This has been going on for around 5 months or so now. My solution up to this point has been to just monitor the comments daily and delete the spam myself, but I didn't like doing that so I did this instead. My reasoning is that most players that want to respond are probably already registered anyway. And I don't credit the spam to any Bots players. It was almost undoubtedly done by someone who has nothing to do with the game who we can only hope suffers a similar fate as <a href="http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/01/04/0154229" rel="external">this guy</a>.<br /> <br /> Anyway, this isn't entirely bad news. You can now see how many comments you've made in your profile, so start post-whoring it up! You can also see all your comments on one page. For example, <a href="/bots/user_comments.php?id=1">here</a> is mine. And legacy comments will still appear, the name of the poster just won't be a link.

Sorry, but you have to login to post comments now. The spam got too bad. You can register if you don't have an account. I also posted some more details about this.
