XSTerminate: A bitcointalk deletebot to rid unwanted visitors from your threads.

[deletebot]

I like how you turned my blatantly obvious analogy into an argument over semantics, before ending it with a random straw man question.
Let's not kid ourselves. This is a censorship tool, one that will be used by people who intend to censor, manage and deflect inconvenient questions.

You quoted Orwell. The premise of 1984 is the relationship between semantics and thought. Also, if you had a legitimate concern about the performance or operation of my program, you wouldn't have given me any material for a straw man argument to begin with.

Instead, you've tried to fud the very existence of my program, which I predicted in the OP. Don't you have more noble battles to fight?

Finally, If you don't like my program, feel free to delete your free copy. But if you do decide to use it, I would appreciate your feedback on its performance.

I quoted Orwell in response to your outlandish comment about reforming posters here. Here, let me refresh your memory.

...

Further, 1984 is not about "the relationship between semantics and thought". It is essentially about the mental, emotional and physical subjugation of an individual by a totalitarian regime in a a dystopian future.

I'd say "outlandish" describes your attempt to compare my program to a dystopian totalitarian regime.  

For the record, I have no intention of using your program.

Then why are you using my thread as a forum for your soapbox?

[repetitive content deleted]

You are starting to repeat yourself. Do you think that is necessary?

[deletebot]

The mature and graceful response would have been to acknowledge that your post was wrong and move on.

...

Edit: Wow. You actually started deleting comments.

The mature response would be for you to stop repeating yourself and move on.

I deleted your message because it was the third time you made the exact same post. Here's what you posted for the third time: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=850210.msg9476759#msg9476759

If you post new material I'll keep it. If your fud turns to spam (which I have a feeling it will), I'll enter your user name in the bot.

Thank you for this Bot!  This should be a requirement on this forum with the amount of trolling that goes on here.

If you post new material I'll keep it. If your fud turns to spam (which I have a feeling it will), I'll enter your user name in the bot.

The dude's trolling xst right know. Same M.O. Start's with FUD, & then tries to turn it around & play the victim. If he wants to argue, I love to argue! He can just PM me. I'll argue about what color the sky is. I don't care. LOL!

For the record, I didn't mean to delete all of his 4 last posts. The bot did that. I can prevent that aggressive behavior in the future. However, he did ask for his name to be put in the bot, so I did it.

XSTerminate is a tool like any other. It can be used for good and bad.

I'm not interested in all that philosophy. I like software to work. I'm interested in good features and bad bugs. I try to create the former and fix the latter.

As you can see guys, StealthCoin`s capabilities are inexhaustible!!!

Hello all

Just to report that XSTerminate on Windows sometimes crashes instead of deleting a post.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Any fixes most welcome.

Yes, this is a known issue. I'm putting together a new release. The bitcointalk HTML has some variability so it's crashing the parser.

this is pretty cool.

I found the issue. Bitcointalk wipes your login when their servers reset (when they get ddosed or have other problems). This logs-out the bot while it's still running. I put in a fix. I'm testing the bot now.

Edit: It's even more common than that. If you log out of the bot account from a browser the bot will get logged out.

It looks like I have it working.

Version 0.9.0 fixes a logout bug that rendered the bot useless when a user logged out of a browser session at the same IP.

It also makes starting up on windows much easier. See here.

Download links are at the OP: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=850210
