I think she means, She hopes the negative opinions towards botting get SO SO strong, that just being SUSPECTED of botting would make everyone go like, "OMG you suck"

She also means, that she is sad that the people who bot don't think the knuffel are important enough to raise wholeheartedly and according to the rules. Even though they are warned, They keep doing it, showing that they don't place any importance on their knuffel.
That's how i read it.

Edit:
True. And I am not doki sama, so I don't REALLY know what she means, but my impression is that it is an antibotting statement.

It's not right to just assume someone did something because you're suspicious.
That is why each botting case needs to be looked into.

What if I said "Zia's a botter because ___" and everyone else jumped in?
Zia's completely innocent, and is being harassed for something she didn't do.

Having dealt with this kind of thing twice on this site, pure suspicion means nothing.

Hello, I'm new here and I just got a bot inquiry thing. I dunno I just thought I should say something. My computer is totally whacked out... I've had it since 2007 so it's kind of crazy. Pretty much the clicker is insane. Every time I click it usually autoclicks like 500 times, it's really frustrating. So I tried to click the jewel like the quest popup said but it didn't work and said it submitted a bot inquiry or something. So... just wanted to put that out there. :qsweat: :qsweat: (see? I just clicked the little sweat icon and it double-clicked. My clicker is cray-cray!!)

edit:
nvm. just noticed this post: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=24926

What exactly is meant by "messing around with URLs"?

Because I know adding "&d=f" or "&d=p" to the knuffel's url basically saves you a click to either feed or play, and I assume this is allowed since it's used in the quickfeed pages that the post says ARE allowed. (And I've seen it in several sigs.)

I have also been using a trick to make a bunch of item listings on the market- hitting the Back button once it's up takes you back to the enter password/confirm screen, and re-entering your pw and re-confirming will repeat your listing assuming you still have enough of the item to list.

After I told a friend about it, she suggested I re-read this post and after doing so I'm not sure if the trick is against the rules or not. If the feed/play trick doesn't constitute messing with URLs then I don't think this does either. Still, I wanted to make sure before I continue doing it.

Ah, it says no browser features, but do you consider tabs a feature? I use no refresh all, no scripts no bots but... I do use a TON of tabs.

I'll open up a few hundred pages all at once in the forums to search for materials and then I look at each page, then close it and move to the next. I will also open a few hundred pages with polls that I vote on, then close them one by one. That is okay, right? I am clicking all the tabs open manually, clicking all the links and polls inside manually, and then closing them all manually. No refreshing, no botting.

But I don't want to get flagged as being a bot.

That's fine. But please note that if you find a material/fairy in more than one of the pop-ups, you will forfeit them all except for the most recent one.

People cheat.... on KOFK?
Is cheating even necessary at all on this site?
I have no other response but to laugh like hell at the people who attempt to cheat on this site. It's not like it is that hard to get currency.

:mcconf: Yesterday I was in the forums doing polls and searching for bats, when the pop-up came up for the materials. I clicked on...I don't remember which now but a message came on the screen and asked if I was cheating. I most certainly was not! I just clicked on the pop-up. Nothing else happened and I continued on. Posting and doing polls. I don't even have more than one tab open. Was is a glitch or what? I don't believe I was doing anything wrong. I have done some posting today and some polls and have had nothing happen today. Since I have only been on here since June of this year I am still kinda new at this I don't want to be banned from something I didn't do and that my daughter and I are enjoying together. Thanks
