Time Nick Message 01:37 Natechip guys. seriously these bots are taking over the servers.... we need to be able to stop them somehow? Theres more bots than players now! 01:37 Natechip normally they have a name with three letters at the end, some are programmed to move around so they dont get afk kicked... also some kill there selfs on purpose so they dont get afk kicked. 01:38 BBmine I think I know what you're talking about, but some say they aren't bots, but players with weird clients. 01:41 Natechip BBmine: well we know its some guy with a bunch of server space... 01:41 BBmine I do think though that those players tend to act strange, but then I'd hate to ban them, in case there happens to be one regular player acting like a bot. 01:41 Natechip idk I heard someone say that. not sure though. but its pretty obvious that it is... unless maybe someone has made a fake client that somehow when u join a server it also makes a bot join one??? 01:42 Natechip ik theres plenty of fake minetest clients on Android... MultiCraft... ( one of the more popular ones ) 01:44 Natechip BBmine: all my MT servers are getting absolutely destroyed and lagged down by these.... 01:44 BBmine Oh. Then I guess if you are 100% positive that it's a bot, you should ban them. 01:44 BBmine forever 01:48 VanessaE Natechip: the easiest way to get rid of them is to present a "rules" page and auto-kick people who don't answer the rules within some period of time like 2 minutes or so 01:49 BBmine Smart idea! Never thought of that before! 01:50 BBmine But what if the bots click okay? Or would they have to answer a question that only humans would know? 01:50 VanessaE and the rules should require the user to read the text, fine the keyword, enter it, and click "accept" 01:50 VanessaE and the keyword must change every time the formspec opens 01:50 VanessaE like what my servers have 01:50 VanessaE except add auto-kick (I don't do that) 01:50 VanessaE find the keyword* 01:52 ircSparky https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--bpxbtgdZ--/c_scale,f_auto,fl_progressive,q_80,w_800/fuasj15wvqmlfbk0yf65.gif 01:53 Natechip lol ircSparky 01:54 Natechip VanessaE nice.. 01:54 Natechip BBmine: Oh.
