    I've decided to seperate the news bot discussion from the Anyone watching Deal or No Deal? thread, seeing there quite a debate about them.

    Good point/idea.
    I'm trying to express that these spam bots are almost never on topic, and their negative effect (deserving of moderation) is far greater than one guy ranting in a thread about deal or no deal.
    To have them all post in the off topic forum would be a detriment to its normal content. The bots need to go entirely, or at least have their spam pass though a discriminating human filter before becoming news.


    Thanks for moving it rather than deleting it entirely.

    Well, it did give the thread a more intelligent topic.

    Hey guys, news bots are amazing.

    Who cares if they post their interesting news at the discussion sections? Thanks to them, now people don't post about their hardware/software/homebrew problems on DCEmu.
    Also how can we miss news like "Engadget website got a new font"?

    You can't forget three versions of the same news story either.
