are bots banned on just dice? i got banned for an hour im confused
Short answer: not if they're good.
When you bet a small amount, there is a delay before you get the result back. During that delay, the bet buttons are inactive to prevent you from trying to bet again.
It's possible, using a bot, to send the 'bet' message to the server as often as you want, even when you already have a bet pending.
A couple of days ago, somebody was taking advantage of this fact and was attempting to overwhelm the server by sending thousands of these bet requests. I added code to block the IP of anyone spamming the server with bets like that. It shouldn't affect regular users or well-behaved bots.
Unfortunately it turns out that one bot in particular (Gray's greasemonkey bot, I think) by default acts just like the attacker, and spams the server with bets without waiting for the previous bet to finish, and so users of that bot are now being banned.
I think it may be possible to tell the bot to pause between bets for a short time, which should solve the issue. Better would be if the bot waited for one bet to finish before sending the next one.
