XSTerminate 0.9.8 Release

The XSTerminate bot is nearly unstoppable now and comes with a minimum activity filter!

https://twitter.com/deletebot/status/558530033841500161

Version 0.9.8 adds the activity setting that specifies the minimum activity a user needs to post. Version 0.9.8 is also robust to malformed authentication responses that arise when bitcointalk has catastrophic server issues, as in the recent outage. This means that there should be no need to restart your bot under even the worst of bitcointalk conditions.

An introduction and instructions are at the OP: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/xsterminate-a-bitcointalk-deletebot-to-rid-unwanted-visitors-from-your-threads-850210

This release has been heavily tested and kept going through the recent 22 hour outage.

This software deletes posts from trolls, it does not have the capacity to assess the motivations of its users. If you have a problem with some person or company, go to the appropriate page and make your posts. For your particular interests, I think this thread is appropriate: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/gaw-josh-garza-discussion-paycoin-xpy-xpyio-ion-ionomy-always-make-money-857670

I offer delete bot software here. Nothing else. That's the topic of discussion. Most people offer their thanks, which I appreciate. Some have feature requests, which I honestly wish I had more time to tackle. If you have found a problem with the stability or performance of XSTerminate, or if you have some feature suggestions, I would be happy to have your input.

If you feel you must express some disapproval on this forum, your best bet would be to try to find a bug and give me fair time to fix it, which I will do for free. If I appear to ignore your concerns you are welcome to pester me for a fix on this thread. At some point, I will probably give in. However, I think you will find it difficult to discover a bug I won't fix. If you are worthy of your battleship avatar, though, you will try.

I've deleted your post, mostly for your choice of imagery, which you put in "strike-through". For future posts, please stick to a discussion of the software.

You could add an option:

If user has
( Haven't downloaded bot to check it out, will do tonight. )

This will be in the next update, when I have time. It may be soon because I just tracked down a bug tonight that kills the bot when it receives a malformed status line.

XSTerminate 0.9.0 Release

A new version of XSTerminate is now available.

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.

XSTerminate Windows Build of 0.9.4 Available

Using windows just got a lot easier (as long as your config file is named "deletebot.yml" and is in the same directory as the xsterminate program).

Download the windows starter pack:

Instructions

  • Download and unpack the windows build. It is a zip file.

  • In the unpacked folder, change "deletebot.yml" and "lusers.txt" according to your needs.

  • Launch the "run" command. Click here for instructions.

  • When you have selected the xsterminate program, hit Open and then OK.

  • If you need to change the luser list, just edit "luser.txt" and XSTerminate will adjust on the fly.

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.

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.

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.

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://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.9476759

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.
