Views Bot

[Flashlight237]

So, in the Suggestions board, particularly with Troopas' "Item Protection" thread (personally, I can see why you wouldn't want to do that), you can see that the view count shot up to over 400k views: far more than the game itself. Troopas and I both believe it's caused by a bot. Think it's possible for you to swat the bot?

And now the bot's doing it to me! How the heck did I jump up from 5 views to 450?!

Hmm, that is super bizarre. That's definitely a crazy amount of views. I'm not exactly sure how to go about blocking that, so I'll just keep an eye on it for now, as I don't want to waste too much time on it if it just goes away itself.

Great, wait for problems to be solved by themselves, instead of fixing them to avoid them become a bigger thread in the future

And how to solve it just one word, captcha

Well it's not a serious problem causing problems to the forums or game so it's not a top priority to fix.

Except it is a problem. We're talking about a bot that is injecting views into a post, which IS a problem. You're not helping by making an ignorant comment like that.
