Getting banned by A.I ? #12

Open panostsipo opened 3 years ago

panostsipo commented 3 years ago

I used the bot for about 30 - 60 minutes and posted about 10 comments ( the max value was at 240 the min was at 120 and the weight was at 180 ) and I got "banned". The bot couldn't post a comment even if I pressed it by hand on the pop up window, although I could post a comment with both my browser ( from the same device, network and account ), and my phone ( again from the same network and account ). I restarted the bot with bigger values ( max min and weight), it posted 3 - 5 comments in about 20 - 30 minutes and I got "banned" again. I restarted the bot again with even bigger values ( specifically max = 500 min = 0 weight = 250 ). It posted 1 - 2 comments and then it got "banned". Even after both times that I restarted the bot I could still post a comment from my browser and my phone. I left it for about 17 hours but when I started the bot it couldn't post any comment ( again with my phone and browser I can still post ). The error that I get from the pop up window is ' Failed to post comment ' .I will also put the config that I used the last time I used the bot and a screenshot of my cmd ( the screenshot is after I have closed the pop up window of the bot ) just in case that helps. config.txt

I have the same problem here. I can post from other windows, smartphone and other browsers, only the bot still has an error.

Hey guys, I found a solution, at least for my problem. I deleted the cookies folder and it worked normal again.

I had already tried this option, but to no avail. I believe it is a shadow ban
