Hi, this will seem like a strange question, but is there anyway to stop accounts from automatically liking my posts? Someone has about 7 or 8 accounts that hit the like option on almost anything I post, almost immediately. It has to be automated.
Its slightly disconcerting, and isn’t really beneficial to the conversations.
not really…
So forum botting is acceptable?
Ooof, that’s creepy. Sorry, wish I had a suggestion for you.
That’s not what Thundertotem said.
Did I say that?
Given I can easily get the names, is there somewhere to report the accounts then?
Not really.
This is a first, someone complaining about their posts being “liked” too much.
What exactly would you report them for? How have they violated the TOS?
Being creepy? Activities counter to facilitating worthwhile conversation? Forum botting?
I’m having a suspicion that we are being trolled…
so i’m not an expert on forum rules, but i don’t think having a bot like posts would actually be against them? also i liked all of your posts.
If you are getting upset that your posts are being liked, perhaps it would be prudent to step away from the forums for a bit.
Normally, you’d report forum abuse by clicking the little flag on their posts.
I’m at a loss suggesting a way to report this issue however. Perhaps a suggestion can be made to block individuals who you feel are detrimental to your forum experience - I know an ignore feature is being worked on, perhaps a “like block” can be tacked on.
I’d assume that an Ignore would prevent them from hitting like on your posts etc. but I guess until then, I just have to deal with the creepy vibe factor.
I just figured automation on the forums would be frowned on and a way to report it possible.
And your proof of this is?
Nothing there is a direct violation of the TOS.
Being creepy is not a violatin until it crosses over into language and/or harassment.
Liking your posts is hardly harassment and has little to not impact upon a worthwhile conversation.
Flagging a thread to be notified of updates is a blizzard tool. Using it is hardly a botting violation.
Schools out. There are kids online 16 hours a day who can get updates.
Have a look back through my comments on this thread. The same 8 
on every one of them. And its happening on multiple threads almost as soon as I post.
That’s not proof of automation. You know how easy it is to like a post? one click, done. Did it cross your mind that maybe those people actually like what you post? There are posters I will always like when they post.
Maybe you need to take a break from the forums for a bit, to clear your head.
Even the ones where I said they’re creepy because they’re all instantly liking my posts?
