Technical Support: Bots
I confirm, I have seen several times now a guest posting the same series of four messages (pick-up lines) in open room chat luring visitors to some obscure website or even file.
in most cases the link posted by a bot is automatically blocked by f4f however to ensure bots are blocked it would be easier to just have guest chat muted from the start?

For me, there's no difference between those bots and typical rude/beggar guests. I just ignore them or switch to private chat.

a) The link is not blocked, because it's of a simple form with no recognizable file ending.
b) I never mute greys. They have an influence on models, so I wanna see their comments and be able to help out.

c) I am concerned about less mature, curious users who'd jump ahead and find themselves downloading a virus or sth. Beggars don't scheme to get user data.

Any, and everyone, who are on here, and aren't members are rude, and disrespectful to people. There are even people, who are members are like that to people, and post in forums, too. If there hasn't been anything, or anymore of this worked on, have more of a filtered system in place to prevent people like that, and to remove more posting privileges to members, and people, who are the same way on forums. It would make it a healthier atmosphere around.

I apologize to the group for my ignorance on hitting buttons and not knowing I was even posting something. Won't happen again.
