Impling hunter bots. #12

Open GryphonIs opened 2 years ago

I use the plugin for notifications when a rare impling spawns near me. Sometimes when a rare impling spawns a bot will log in near me and catch it before I can get to it. I suggest adding a timer or checkbox that says "I am looking for implings right now" that will prevent uploading any implings you see.

Unfortunately, I'm not going to add that feature because I don't want people to 'leech'. Between this, and the issue with bots that's happening, I am going to look into the new socket plugin and maybe change the plugin so that you can share with groups of specific people. Remove the globalness of it. It's a bummer but seems it's the only option as bots are ruining the fun for everyone else

Another option could be to have people sign up with accounts and view the impling locations on a website. You could then track how often someone pulls the impling data, and if it is greater than a certain amount, you could flag the user as a bot and either give them incorrect data or ban their account from the site for abuse.
