The Botridden Land, Eureka Pyros

I know you're frustrated but you shouldn't put their character names on blast like that, it's just a good way for you yourself to get in trouble.

I do wish SE would combat botting more seriously though.

Why's that if I may ask? it's literally just bots, no actual players character names other than my own are visible so I don't really see why exposing them would bring trouble- they are already the issue that needs to be exposed and brought to light anyway :|

The mods won't see it that way. As long as you don't have definite proof they're all bots in there, there's a chance you're shaming a legitimate player as a bot and they'll crack down on it.

No point in arguing. We don't disagree. It's just friendly advice because your thread may be wiped and the issue will go unaddressed.

Ooh okay! I didn't really take it as anything other than it being friendly advice, i'm just quite new to the forums and don't know yet what is 100% bad (or why it can be seen as bad) although I'm not entirely sure how a screenshot of the player names on the list would be shaming? Is it cause of the implication of like "ah the person has been doing nothing other than this so they must be a bot"?

(all genuine questions, hope I'm being able to convey them that way)

Name & shame is against the rules so it will get taken down regardless if it's bots or not. I think one way to do it is just color code it: block out the bots names in a different color so that way the thread doesn't get deleted and we still see the point from the screenshot
