in reply to Re: Vote bot
in thread Vote bot
Normally when I vote on nodes, I pick a new node and check out the responses (and vote on them too). Technically it is possible to vote on 25 nodes with one press on the Vote! button so it would be rather hard to avoid 'rapid voting'.
Since it's brief existence, this node has caused some discussion. I therefor decided to have it deleted...

Thanks, Beatnik, for not leaving this clever program
available for abuse. The last thing PM needs is random
noise introduced by bots. About as useful as the bot
making random sarcastic remarks to randomly
selected nodes. Fun, but not necessarily funny. It all
depends on where the "educational" purpose of the program
ceases to exist, and malicious amusement becomes the
primary objective.
Nice show, though. Points for style! | [reply] |

One of my mottos is use, don't abuse... I think everything can be abused... What stops any monk here to write something similar and abuse it?
Anyway enough of this, clearn PM code on the way.
Sideno(t|d)e I actually created Bone::Easy on IRC... fun, but not funny??? :)

Bone::Easy is funny, apart from the physical abuse you would
sustain from a test of this product on members of the opposite
sex (or the sex of your choice, depending on your particular
requirements/preferences). The problem with a toy/tool/nuclear weapon
like 'votebot' is that it's all fun and games until it takes
on a life of its own. Best to keep it contained in a Level 4
virus lab where it can do no harm.
