In 2017, a huge rise of bot have arrived and it's becoming a big issue due to many bootleg Transformice and leading people to possibly viruses.On café, there are topics about these bots this year (when this thread was made). People keep making bots and advertising their private servers by using bots.I think that they target Cafers.We need to do something about this so in the future Transformice can improve their system and this will no longer become a problem. Any thoughts and opinions on this? To be honest, they might not be bots and maybe there's a system in bot makers where the Capcha is completed. [EDIT] Moderators,admins,and other Transformice players should be doing something or try doing something about this. We need to find ways of how to stop bots from leading people to pirated servers.This is why I don't trust links. Now when you see a link please be aware because you don't know if it'll lead to a virus. Dernière modification le 1503437460000 |

Finally someone has said something about this! It has become a problem now and I've reported several bots. It's come to the point that I just ignore them now and warn other players. BUT, there's just too many bots being created at once, so all can't be handle by moderators. I believe an IP ban will do. Dernière modification le 1503638940000 |

It's true that the company has some security vulnerabilities. I hope the security issues will be addressed someday. |

i remember when i went into the BR community with a friend... we'd get bombarded with whispers from tfm bots about pirate servers and our blacklists were legit filled... they've been a problem for a while, but i think they're becoming more widespread. |

Kaekat a dit : Most of the games they whisper has more BR players due to the amount of Br's who trust links,I think. |

Kawinloa a dit : Mods do the best they can in fact to take care of the situations, but they can't individually hunt down every single bot there is; it's really up to the player feedback that they get. So here's some advice for those who want to help: try to PM a mod whenever you get a whisper from the bot. If there are no mods online, report them. They have the ability to IP ban and stop the same link from being posted twice, which can at least slow them down. And whatever you do, don't click on links outside of Atelier801, even goo.gle links. But overall I still definitely agree about your entire point. I wish there was a way to permanently stop people from making bots but as of now we're still stuck on ideas. And I don't think blocking by IP will work? VPNs are a thing, everyone uses them nowadays. |

Nat57 a dit : you do know ip bans are useless |

Intrestinggg a dit : that is true, you can easily override an IP ban by going on a VPN. |

isnt it lovely how the anti-bot system on transformice doesnt stop these bots from working but mutes important official map bots every couple of minutes |

Drescen a dit : there's a anti-bot system? never heard of it, how is it supposed to work, as it honestly intrigues me. Intrestinggg a dit : someone who speaks sense. Thank you. Ip ban is useless since they can easily jump to a different ip like nothing had happened. Dernière modification le 1503855000000 |
