[QUOTE=HyperTails;32245353]Why would you use a bot anyway?
'Tis not hard to fucking manually enter raffles.[/QUOTE]10 slot raffles are incredibly annoying to try to enter when your internet connection isn't as fast as a goddamn bullet, though.
Not that I condone the use of a bot, I'm just pointing out some rationale for it being done in the first place.
I saw it and thought "Oh, it shows the items in the raffle before I click on it, and it can alert me if I won something. That's really neat."
Then I saw the rage. Now I'm sad.

Reag said he liked the layout so he might make the public raffles page look like that. But if you want it just mod the bot. Not exactly hard to remove features.
[QUOTE=EDDY TT;32237208]Not over-reacting at all, people notified me of it and I looked into it.
With this bot you could sit on the public raffles page for an hour and every raffle that was posted between that time you will be auto-entered as soon as it comes up.
That we can not allow, I don't mind page strippers where they pull out the links or a bot which notifies you when a new raffle is made or you've won an item but an auto-joiner just isn't allowed.

People need to stop taking me seriously if that's how I look to you.

Should be pretty obvious considering my username here.[/QUOTE]
You're a dude then right?
Please if you want to wind Reag up there are FAR easier and more effective ways of doing it.
I mean this is the guy who's mic over tf2 is clear as a day till he gets angry at which point he screams SO HARD he literally censors himself and all his profanity is lost in a sea of angry static.
Also i think he is justified in a bot that autojoins. It's just not fair on those who can't click one thousand times a second on their 200mbs connection.
YOU BROKE THE RULES! EVERYONES GONNA BE MAD BECAUSE YOU BROKE THEM /wool

People do that already.
If everybody uses a Bot, those not using a bot will be outnumbered on those 10 slot raffles.
[QUOTE=JustGman;32249196]People do that already.[/QUOTE]
I know a few who do, but they keep their methods to themselves.
My suggestion was apparently dumb, care to explain Reag?
Now here's the silly thing.
If you're going to make a bot like this, wouldn't the key option to be to [b]not[/b] spread it around?

It's just a game, who cares.

>Dying game

I beg to differ.
Do TF2R Bans expire? Because all i did was some pony-argueing.

[QUOTE=Pernoccuous;32250212]counter strike[/QUOTE]If you add 1.6 and CSS yes but TF2 has a higher peak player count then either of them.
[QUOTE=Jojje;32250933][URL=http://store.steampowered.com/stats/]Nope, nice try.[/URL][/QUOTE]
Why do they arrange them NOT in highest to lowest? :v:
God, it's like having a discussion with a bunch of sweds. Nit-picking over shit nobody cares about for the sake of being at odds with someone. Shite communities like tf2r are destined to fail and have tons of animosity because the only kinds of people you're attracting are the folks that just want something for free.
[QUOTE=MrParalegal;32249773]My suggestion was apparently dumb, care to explain Reag?[/QUOTE]
Auto-join, that's why.
[QUOTE=SturmtigerVI;32250180]Do TF2R Bans expire? Because all i did was some pony-argueing.[/QUOTE]
All bans are perm unless you appeal.
[QUOTE=Beezleboss;32250590]That's... interesting.
So you know specific people cheat but nothing is done about them?[/QUOTE]
They don't use auto-join bots, it's mainly just link collectors or desktop notifiers.
Which are perfectly allowed.

At least we're not TF2TP level.
[QUOTE=EDDY TT;32252487]Auto-join, that's why.[/QUOTE]
Not like it'd be much of a difference, there's probably people who constantly sit on the site to get into any raffle they see, plus, what if you feel like playing TF2 yet an item you really want might be raffled? You lose your chance because you're playing TF2, an auto-join system with a limit of 3 items seems fine imo.
this entire thread is absolutely silly.

well thats good atleast
Botting on a raffle site. Thats just sad.

Do want.
[QUOTE=majik64;33852392]Do want.[/QUOTE]
Did you seriously bump the thread asking for bots when I clearly stated they ain't distributed.
Make your own link collector, it's not fucking hard.
Especially considering the site fucking tells you when new raffles are made now.
I thought this thread was about the new bots on TF2R that trade you when your raffle is over. [img]http://sae.tweek.us/static/images/emoticons/frown.gif[/img]
