This was actually my life a few years ago.

I was hardening our applications to stop scraping and automation bots.

Then contributing to open-source to have better scraping and automation.

I wasn’t purposely creating loop holes or anything because that’s highly illegal. It’s about making sure both sides “play nice”, because the automation bots are frequently used by spammers/evildoers.

Looks like we share a cat!

Is there a way to shut down or loudly announce the move for new posters? Like changing the name of the community?

When searching for a new community, I hate when I see 3 or 4 versions of the same topic and I just pick one at random. Uncertain if I’m part of a dead one or not.
