Most of us will go afk for, say, 3 days max without any warning whatsoever, it's generally not much of a big deal and we clear our schedules first

There aren't as many bots around now though, 6 months ago it wouldn't be uncommon to have 4 or 5 a day and not have them cleaned up for weeks. Now I don't see them.

Did the capatcha really stop them?

it got worse, it's just that the smod reaction time is godlike. If you could see the deleted threads in Off Topic
<&Fish>: did you just infract the toribot?
<&Fish>: you're fired
<JSnuffMARS> sounds like a drug-addiction or mastu(I'll censor that word)
<bishopONE>: also yeah fisting
<mwah> Gynx is it true you got admin over hero because hes from pakistan
no one "stepped up their game". you simply don't see a lot of the things smods/admins do
QUACK
They've been working more around the clock than usual though, there seems to be 2 blues on for every timezone

I don't get it.

There were more visibile bots before (sometimes 5 or 6 in a row in one thread) and it could take a week or more to clean them up, if at all.

Now I hardly see bots, and sid says there are more than ever!


I don't understand how to reconcile those two facts without someone stepping up their game.

Surely if there are more bots and smods were still slow then we would have a ton more visible bots?

I also don't see how "you don't see blah blah" factors in to it. It seems to imply either that smods were previously doing a lot more work to delete bots behind the scenes and thus the week long delay, which just sounds weird no matter how i think about it.

I'd like to think that people have learnt to use that ye olde report button.
< Larfen> also my replay thread has more views than the rules thread \o/

...This probably explains most problems in this community.

i dunno, staff always say they are super busy, so wouldn't more work for them to do make everything slower? O_o Besides that even reported posts used to be slow to process, I don't report much now so I can't compare... But I do remember "I reported that bot like 2 days ago, what gives?"... And then the mods get mad because I ended up reporting every post that the 1-post-a-day bot makes because they never get cleaned up... But idk I can't see the statistics on that and I can't compare really, I don't see many bots to even report


Seems like some people are going a long way to deny a compliment :P
Question.

I know sir was sir099123 or whatever, but I never saw him before he was sir.

Did he just leave for a period of time in early 2009, and come back now?
the inner machinations of my mind are an enigma
