Kill the bots!

Post by MasterLink » April 19th, 2025, 3:30 am

This forum is becoming a den of bots. Can someone please hire new mods or just, be more active than once a couple of months?

Read my signature, because I'm tired of reports getting closed without so much as at least SOME effort: They are blasting URL's with BB font size 1 to hide them down into a pixel, and on top of it, half the new accounts are just GPT, and add the 1-pixel link later after their first post.

I am almost certain any one of the more active members here would be willing to volunteer, since I'm sure the excuse will be "we are just volunteers", so hire more. Again I'm sure someone would be willing to do it, because THIS garbage is getting seriously annoying now.

Please, let's do something about this, and quit closing my dang reports just because you can't spot what I am spotting. I don't have all day to type out a full report to help GUIDE you to see what I see, since I cannot screenshot and append to the report (it's clear when I make a stink and quote the bot and re-report it telling you to look at what I just posted, the fact you delete the bot, AND my calling it out, you DO know I am seeing things you simply don't know how to spot).

Make PSXDev a good place for PlayStation development, safe for all users, not this jungle of junk and garbage.

It's already becoming a Futurama episode at this rate.

Oh, and since I can't report new accounts that haven't posted yet:

*Ahem*

Not to mention that URL is in their profile in multiple places. I'll let you figure it out and find it since I found it. Your turn!

I'm guessing the owner is tired of doing it for so long.
I can understand that and it's normal.
I just hope it doesn't end like assemblergames

In a way I almost forgot about assembler, and I was a member there decades ago. Yea I'd really not like it to happen.

I'm hopeful that they just hire a new volunteer that is more active, there are members here active, with a reputation and level of trust surely they could ask to take it on if they are willing.

I just hate seeing communities fall like this, let alone the only one place that really specializes in anything (when there isn't a good alternative, or if an alternative would rather gate-keep when this place is not gate-keeping which is fantastic).

(And for the owner, if they are tired of doing it, yes I get that, but know when to pass the torch to someone who is capable of carrying that torch, or yes, assemblergames will happen all over again.)
