A post on my other thread made me wonder if Bacpack.tf should intervene with the issues of bots spamming the classifieds and making the economy more difficult to live with for human and chicken players. How do you fair on this?

Likewise, Jessecar put out the source code for SteamBot a while ago, which lets you make a bot of your own.

All you need to do is compile and configure it, and you're set.

Honestly, I don't think bots are that big an issue. If you want to trade faster, you can trade with a bot. If you want better prices, you have the regular people. It balances itself out.

Your poll is a terrible one. You want to pose the question of whether the site should intervene without giving the option to leave things as is.

 

EDIT: Reset the poll adding in the last category.

With premium and and the free tool bp automatic, anyone can be competitive in the classifieds. This is the combo that i personally use and it works very well.

Oh my Nova, PLEASE stop making pointless threads on this, we've already established that their just fine, please stop whining about it and move on. Come on you're supposed to be more mature than this.

 

EDIT: Now I hear you're forcing your opinion onto others? Nice, slick move bud.

While I side with you in your argument, the phrase "your poll is a terrible one" is an ad hominem attack. These can ruin the value of your argument and only make you seem less viable.

 

Note that this was not meant to create salt.

I am sorry, I believe you have confused me with another member. I do not condone forcing opinions on others. I am sorry. I am no Nova.

Well, your poll was one sided. A lot of people don't see a problem with bots and classifieds.

Yes I understand that. My intention was that people who see no reason would ignore it. My apologies, I have Autism Spectrum Disorder so my thoughts are often incomplete and unshared.

I am going to generous and ignore the fact that you can't read a correctly formatted sentence (And I worship a god named Nova, I was not at all referring to you, like, at all) And yes, you did make a thread about this a few days ago, we get it, you don't like them, there's no need to force others to like it too.

My english isn't the best, I am not originally from America. I don't force others, in fact I am neutral on any stance on bots. I only made threads asking for your opinions. If you're too simple to understand the concept of a basic inquisition then fine, but don't make things up about forcing people to my opinions, it is wrong, and no one likes it but you.

That's not what an ad hominem attack is. He didn't attack the user making the poll or question his credibility to undermine his argument, he just made an observation about the quality of the poll.

Terrible is a word associate with negativity, furthermore it's declension is one that relates to the person being spoken to. Therefore it is "To the person."

No, it was to and about the quality of the poll.
