Anyone else sick of the "News Bot"?

[Pamela]

well if there ever going to be a change to the bots, i would love to see their threads marked in a different color, either bold or idk blue??? It would be soo much easier to see actual ppls threads and i wouldnt end up skipping them

I find it annoying when I go to the new posts, and more than half are bots, so changing the colors of the thread would be really helpful.

I just look down the column and try to look over any post by Dan especially ones with 0 replies.

And Spitfire? Or is it just Dans bot you get pissed at?

These are valid concerns and helpful suggestions.This thread needs to be reformatted and placed in Help and Suggestions,under the thread How would YOU improve the site?

I will edit and add where Spit asked Dan about this.

Either we think alike or you used the same site I linked to about 20 min before you posted your bots news o.O

Let me know if there is another site you want checked with a decent RSS feed.

Since the bot posts a ton of news every day, I'm going to delete news thats a week old, if it has no responses. If it garners a response, I'll keep it. This will keep the news section clean, and stop my post count from hitting 10,000 before Pam.

Ok this is how it happened. So there you have it.I could not post a link as this was in Admin.
