I want a posting bot, who has one for me?

[LoyceV]

I used to use LoyceBot to post posts like this one.
I used a Python script, I think it's made by vino.gcs, but it doesn't work anymore, maybe because of the Cloudflare implementation on the forum.

Many spammers use bots to spam the forum. I'm looking for a bot for a legit use. I've finished most of my scripting to publish full merit histories for any user, but stumbled upon errors from my posting bot. Before switching to the tech boards (I know nothing about Python), I'd like to see if anyone here has a working bot that can help me.

All I need is something that runs from the command line on Linux, and posts "file.txt" on a thread I specify.

I thought using bots to POST was against the rules somewhere?

Anyway, if no one comes up with anything, it's probably just as easy to login on a browser after generating the post isn't it?

The issue is possibly that you now need a token, you didn't July last year as I recall. Message theymos and ask for one, tell him.what you plan on doing with it also.

As far as I know, it's not a problem, as long as the posts are worthy.

That's what I'm doing now, but a bot can do repetitive tasks 24/7.

That could work, but I'll still need a bot that can post using the token.

Using bots is fine, just as long as they follow the rules. The sad truth is that most people use them to spam or plagiarise content, but there are genuine uses for them.

The 5th most prolific poster of all time was a bot. ChartBuddy

I was thinking DarkStar_ might be a good person to ask, I think he's experienced in this sort of thing.

I think maybe Mitchell can help, since he is running his MindlessElectron.

I'm now also looking for a PM bot.
