I have to agree with most of these comments. The bots do make the site look bad. I remember I used to go to dashhacks for any major releases, or DCEmu for any release. However, I can't comfortably say that I can use DCEmu to find all the news that I used to, as it's just so cluttered by bots.

By all means, keep the bots - but make it so they do not show up in the new posts, and have their own forums.

Just my £0.01 (approximately 2 cents, at the current exchange rate

Great idea !

I have practically left too, because things here are slowing down.

Maybe the Pandora scene will help DCEmu?

Can we make a petition for the newsposters not to show up when viewing new posts ? Or at least make an option in the control panel for every user to enable or disable this ..

I would happily support a petition to enable "blocking" the bots from view. But it seriously won't happen. The powers that be don't deem it to be a viable option.

i hate having to go through 5,000 news posts so i can get to one good post where we dont just say crap like "im looking forward to it" or "yay, the wii is on top" and crap like that 5 times on five different versions of the exact same article. i agree that the news bots should not show up in new posts but rather in a new link called "news posts".

You sensationalist punks make it seem like the whole staff is conspiring. It's wraggster alone. I know of no other staff member that likes the bots or wants them around, so direct your anger and frustration his way.
