A Warning to the Contest Bots.
 

When I see users doing a refresh of GFY more than 200 times in less than 15-minutes, I will be breaking out the BAN hammer. :disgust

Two users just found this out the hard way.

We now return you to our regular scheduled dramas...

hahahah owned

wtf... *I* probably refresh over 200 times in 15 minute period.

hahaha nice :)

not sure if 200 times, but like 50 times ocassionally perhaps

TD killing the bots... good stuff! :pimp

On the exact same thread??? :helpme

which users?

theres no point in hiding them IMO

Yeah Three cheers for TD's Bot Killer instincts..:thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

lets see who got the hammer. hehe

Some times when it gets close its refreshed a lot of times but no where near 200.

Thanks for doing something against the bots.

Now name them :)

Ahh.. No. I figured GFY altogether.

210 = beta-tester
206 = Trent Edison

:Oh crap :Oh crap :Oh crap

haha i didnt know they were bots :eek2 :1orglaugh
.

ouch, glad to see your bringing the hammer down on cheaters.

So Fucking Banned :) Good work, this will keep the contests more fair.

let's keep it fair! :thumbsup

aren't you getting married today?

Theres a few more than need a good ole banning.. lol

wow you guys finally did something about it.

Saturday :)

It's not saturday yet, is it? lol

hahaha bots got OWNED

phew..would hate to see you refreshing the board on your wedding day

early congrats :)

That is a lot
were they using a bot or a script to refresh the page

I know I refresh quite a bit myself when it gets within 10 or so posts of a win but I don't think I do it that many times.

Also this will make it more fair. thanks :thumbsup

Good decision.

yay didn't thought beta-tester is just a bot.
maybe thats why he won half of those thread contests lol

nice job mr. texasdreams

Awesome, GFY should get rid of all the bots around here...

:)

Post # 32 gets what??

One thread went up a thousand view in less then a minute now... the whole board was slow as hell.

Congrats to the weiners.

Congrats to all the winners :gulgglug

I refresh it like 10-30 times when it's time to shoot in contest thread. I can't do it faster than that coz I have 256 kbps internet connection that doesn't work always so great. Guess that's the main reason that I only won once in those threads.

210 in 15 minutes! That's like once every 4.2 seconds if I did the math right. Couldn't do that manually, not on my PC anyway. GFY just doesn't reload that fast every time. Thought the delays were put in on purpose to refresh and post to foil attackers??

thats alot, way more than a person can do..

My average load time for a page is arround 2-5 secs here. Your PC is fucking slow. But I agree that on a big topic it might take a lil longer.

makes sense...
