One of those things that used to be a conspiracy theory, but is increasingly a prophecy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Internet_theory

Actually, it's just that this has been working really well. I have noticed it having some impact against legitimate users, but given the impact it has had on bots, I'd have to say it's been worth it, even though I still resent it.

Part of the fixes I mentioned is that I get logs about potential bot posts, which makes it considerably easier for me to review and remove them without looking through every single post made. I already saw and removed the ones you mentioned, for example.

Are you even playing Haven and Hearth if by day 4 into the new world you don't have a bot cycling through 80 alts at different underground bodies of water constantly logging in and out to check for anglers, while also opening thousands of mussels, while also doing 500 tanning tubs?
