i felt a slight slow down but only for a sec. thanks for all your hard work.

The slow down was not due to the bots. Slow downs will occur when the server process is restarted (that means an update is being rolled out) ;)

Background stuff or something noticeable? The wink has got me excited.

I closed new account registrations until further notice. Their spamming efforts (kudos for having the time on their hands to actually sit and write a bot for just this purpose) will help me further improve security aspects of the site, but I do not appreciate them hogging server resources for the fun of it.

Thank you.

thanks for taking it in stride. It really didn't take that long to write the bot. if you need any help with removing the posts / securing the site, let me know. fyi the posts weren't spam, they took half the title from a post on /r/conspiracy and the other half from /r/sex , hence you ended up with things like "GUN GRAB ALERT! UN Caught Posting is how women should think. This is how their sexuality should be.'" Porn star James Deen talks equality in porn..".

No problem :) The bots did keep me awake all night long (it is now 6 am) but I only have myself to blame for opening up whoaverse to public registrations.

As for the help: feel free to check the github repo and contribute with whatever you can. I am sure there are many more holes to plug and things to improve :)

That's funny, I was awake most of the night too, but I was running the bot :).

If I had res here I would tag you as whitehatnigga.

What sucks is that apparently they won't be making a "WES" because "The main RES team definitely can't spare the time for it."

High-five! :p

Man. You are a good sport. Most people would get butthurt over something like this. Instead, you are using it as a way to harden security. I like people like you.
