[Kalphiter]

ya'll are telling me i am not allowed to post because i don't use my bare hands to craft tcp packets

Yeah you have to deliver every 4 bits to the next routing device by hand.

Here's how to post to the blockland forums without geting banned for automated posting:
1. Open your web browser
2. Open up the forums
3. Click on a topic
4. Press reply
5. Type in stuff
6. Press post.

If you don't do that yourself for posting, you'll get banned for automated posting.

But that wouldn't be automated.

If that doesn't clarify my statement, then I don't know what you mean.

suppose i write a function

function DERPTHElovingDERP()
{
echo("LOL DERP");
}

now
i do this in console:
DERPTHElovingDERP();


IS THIS AUTOMATED? NO.

NOW SUPPOSE I MAKE A PACKAGE:

package DERPTASM
{
function servercmdmessagesent(%c, %t)
{
parent::servercmdmessagesent(%c, %t);
DERPTHElovingDERP();
}
};
activatepackage(derptasm);


IS THIS AUTOMATED?
YES, FOR THE MOST PART.

Now, replace my derpthelovingderp function with the function that posts to the forums
I wouldn't tie it to messagesent, I would tie it to a gui or something

How many times have I said
Posting to the forums through script not using your web browser is considered a BOT, and you will be BANNED if you use it.

Sure it would be okay if you make an entire loving web browser in blockland, but that's not happening.

there's no loving difference server side!
I'm not putting any extra load on the server, why the forget does it matter how I'm doing it???

Its not about extra load, or bandwidth, or disk space, or anything like that.

It's the fact that there is a SPECIFIC RULE stating that if you use an automated system to post, YOU WILL BE BANNED.

you're comparing firefox to chrome and saying that the difference is a cat to the moon

I just told you that unless you make basically an entire web browser inside blockland, posting to the forums would be considered automated.

If the user can see the topic, actually types out their message, and presses "Post", I think it will be fine.
