i don't think it was... i think the bots just post here cause their programmed to do it...if it was intentional...couldn't he then set it to spam in the recycling bin?

it's where the bots are posting, it's easier for them to access this location then the others for various reasons.

it's not emi remfer, it's the bots. THEY choose this spot, not sir emi. for some reason, the bots are finding it easier to post here then elsewhere, who knows.

:(...then couldn't like EMI get some new code or something so bots spam the recycling bin?  it would save the middle step of us deleting the posts :)

no remfer, you can't use external codes to direct bots, and lamma, we'd much rather the spam post in the recycle bin, instead of us having to move it there.

yes, but then all bots would be useless, especially the ones that run game accounts for you, which is why they are designed not to take outside codes/orders.

....yeah, but the companies wouldn't realize...once they make bots, they leave and only come back like once a month...

Anyway...

Points: This place catches spam so it is like a filter

bots can not be programmed by EMI with outside coding to spam the recycling bin

(And monkey, even though this is now locked, can still post here cause he is mod...i think...that's what happened when i moved something)

Yes, as a mod, I can post in here still. And yes, those are the points pretty much. But lammalord is right, at least we don't have to try to hunt the spam down all over the forum, it all ends up here, making getting rid of it easier.
