Sort profiles by last modified o_O. At least we only see the ones who actually leak through...

I've always theorized.. Notice that all the bots have a location of , ,? What if, accounts that are made, do not have a location set, and do not make any forum posts, are flagged as potential bots? I think it would be pretty accurate, there has to be a way to automatically stop them.

introverted people who just play the game are potential bots

I'm usually the one who handles the bots, and sometimes they're hard to keep up when they come in droves. If you see bot profiles on the main page, do not hesitate to report them please. I often see some users writing comments on the profiles of bots but the profiles themselves often go unreported.

Someone made a thread about this before and I'm sorry in advance if the question has been answered.

Who are those people in the avatar? Looks like emo rock band singers or something.

Went through 50 pages, banned 195 bots just now (excluding ones that were already banned). Beyond that, you kinda get the point.
