Here is the funniest thing I've seen all day. The creator of the bot is a poster here on 2+2.
I guess I need to get one of those bots. It looks like 2+2 doesn't have a problem with them.

the astute readers (and most of 2p2 posters are) will have already worked out that you are a user and poster on the forum in all likelyhood.

long answer:

this means that you have already got one of those bots - are probably running it as we speak (hopefully at a loss)

Like you Ray is a new poster - I don't have a problem with *Anyone* posting on 2p2 (even bot users) - it is after all a public forum.

If Ray posted material on 2p2 that linked to sites that promote bot use (without prior moderator approval) he would most likely get banned and his posts deleted as 2p2 as far as I know take a very anti-bot stance.

I think it's better for all concerned to talk about things like this that effect the short term profitability of posters and the long term viability of internet poker in general.

Banning disussions like this imo would be very shortsighted - and you are seriously misinterpreting things if you think by allowing Ray to post on a public forum the owners and moderators of said forum are endorsing or condoning bots in any form.

short answer:

grow up and quit trolling.

(astute 2p2 posters might find the thread entitled "PBWC announcement posted on 2+2 forum" which is posted on the cheaters' forums (that I can't bring myself to link to - google it) interesting reading - I wonder which of the posters there is you "lol_variance"? )

For the record, all new posters are not "trolls" and I do not use any bots except for PT. I don't even know why I bothered to sign up to this site knowing that all new posters get attacked or are labeled as trolls. I was simply pointing out to those who may not have known that the bot creator posts here. I will not be put on the defensive by you or anyone else here. For all I know, you are a running bots. Just because people have high post counts here doesn't make them upstanding citizens in the poker community in my book. History has proven that here. Good day sir.
