Hey TheQuin, can I ask questions to "freedoge" or is there another thread for this?
No, just ask here and I'll help if I can.
TheQuin, you must take one thing into consideration. Using faucets can be very addictive and people become kind of automated (it's embarrassing, but I set an alarm every hour just to remember to claim and I know for a fact that I'm not the only one doing this). Unless you put clear instructions/rules on the site on how to behave to not get banned, people will be confused every single time the system decide to act against them and ban thousands of accounts. If bots are the problem then the system must be very restrictive, I agree, but it would be a lot easier for us, users, and for you, admins, if there's a set of rules we must obey to be able to use the faucet.
It's not that simple. That would just be instructions on how to program a bot.
We banned over 100,000 accounts this time and less than 10 people were affected. I'm sorry for those people but we needed to get rid of the others.
