    Warning on using the "whoposted" function

    I'm seeing a ton of activity on this in the last week or so, on the contest threads. If I see the "check-bots" keep doing this, there's going to be some blocked IPs, and maybe even some user account DELETIONS. I've tried banning in the past on this, apparently some just didn't get the message strong enough.

                    It's a page that reload faster then other for contests... People have been using it for long for contests but i guess some people coded a bot or something..

                              The feature is not worthless but the total post should not be there.

                                  If you don't want the total post count there for bot/script purposes it's just to add up the individual post counts instead. Takes about 0.00051 seconds longer.

                                                its on the front page, it opens the small box that displays whos posted and how much they have posted

                                                pretty nifty.

                                                ya why not turn that off.. instant fix. fuck em.

                                                nothing but scammers using that shit?

                                                  We're still allowed to hit it every now and again (by hand) to be sure we don't go over 20 a day in contest threads, right?

                                                              What would you define as acceptable activity?

                                                              After beta got banned I'm more careful of refreshing. So I know it's not me doing it.
