No. Bots are a game functionality. You can't ban bots. As of today, you can create an download bots on your computer, no matter your operative system or restrictions. If you say you can't, it's because you simply don't want to.

What I meant is that since bots are external programs, we shouldn't have in-game features be limited just because people can use bots. New users will come here expecting a fully working game, with no need to download user-made programs.

I'm fine with bots when they're used to make the game funner or more convenient to play.

This bot is interfering with the normal use of open worlds.

You guys traversed many issues. The bot should not be allowed. I think it would be good to have open worlds that have ownership so an 'admin' could watch over conduct in the world and oust the negative bots.

Also, someone said "why not just move to another world?" -- the bot follows you. Or, you don't get to follow the people you were with. open worlds have a degree of association that you'd obviously lose if you wanted to re-create it without the bot.

But you can just go to another open world if this bothers you. They're all basically the same, aren't they?

And how do you detect a bot?

I think it's definitely a problem when the bot follows you, but less so when it's only in one world. I was thinking that a player can abuse you and ruin your creations just like a bot can (although it's less effective), so I didn't see the big deal. But I suppose if people are into the whole click wars game, then your "unfair advantage" argument is valid. I'm just not sure if mods are willing to look at IPs to find the culprit and issue bans just to preserve this game that not many people play.

This thread looks dead but I don't see any purple names.

If it's a public world (AKA no owner, everyone gets edit) I might ban the bot for a day (I wouldn't ban the person running the bot - unless they are persistant) - everyone is meant to edit in an open world and if you are stopping people then it is unfair, feel free to use that bot in an open edit world that you own.
