I don't consider myself to be one of those, but I assume the RSS Bot posting are deliberately so you raise money for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atasas Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 well the idea I get is posting count or smthg of the sort? right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Lite Posted February 7, 2009 Administrator Share Posted February 7, 2009 Not at all. Without the RSS Bot, several of the news forums recieve little or no postings.@Alf_NL, You make a point, but don't explain why you wish for it to be removed.There will be some changes to the feature, but more feedback is needed.

Alf_NL Posted February 7, 2009 Author Share Posted February 7, 2009 @Alf_NL, You make a point, but don't explain why you wish for it to be removed.I check the Nsane forum daily with the newest posts search. Before the RSS Bot there were approx. 1 or 2 pages search result, now there are many. It's quite annoying to read through all the RSS Bot topics to see the REAL news, if I don't have missed it at all. With REAL news I mean news that we expect to be on Nsane forum. All RSS Bot posts are news items I'm not interested in and has nothing to do with the Nsane forum. Most of the news I can already read on forums I visit to read that kind of news, if I'm interested in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Lite Posted February 7, 2009 Administrator Share Posted February 7, 2009 If i reduce the number of posts by the Bot is this OK? Some of the channels are currently in testing. Its most likely the filesharing news will stay and there will be some changes to the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please stick with those post were Nsane is meant for and what it's doing good IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearoninternet Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Perhaps its an idea to be able to ignore bots? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Lite Posted February 7, 2009 Administrator Share Posted February 7, 2009 It is possible to ignore posts by forums for the "get new posts function", i can set this up if its worthwhile? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alf_NL Posted February 7, 2009 Author Share Posted February 7, 2009 It is possible to ignore posts by forums for the "get new posts function", i can set this up if its worthwhile?I already put the RSS Bot on the ignore user list, but that doesn't work for the new post search.

Administrator Lite Posted February 7, 2009 Administrator Share Posted February 7, 2009 I can easily change some settings, admin side, to stop the new posts link searching for posts in certain forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alf_NL Posted February 7, 2009 Author Share Posted February 7, 2009 I can easily change some settings, admin side, to stop the new posts link searching for posts in certain forums.That means that ALL postings in that certain forum aren't on the new post list anymore. I don't think that is a good solution.BTW: Now that I have give you my reasons to stop the RSS Bot post, would you be so kind to tell me (and other interested readers) why are you so energetic to keep them here.

Administrator Lite Posted February 7, 2009 Administrator Share Posted February 7, 2009 I stated earlier; several of the news forums recieve no posts without such a feature. Also, there is a major increase in the number of forum visitors with such a function.Some changes will be made the channels, there will also be greater checking of posts by staff. New features take a while to get running to an optimal level.Edit: Disabled the world news feeds, removed the Toms Hardware Feed (this seems to post lots of rubbish). Edit #2: Give it a few days, see what you think of the changes and please post back. Feedback is always welcomed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atasas Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Fair enough!I recon it is still best solution as in older days: popin to nSane, read all New topics (because they all of human recommendation/posting/interest) and reply to those that you feel worth/value replying to...Edited: New Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donaldo Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Edit #2: Give it a few days, see what you think of the changes and please post back. Feedback is always welcomed.Nice to be back to the cleaner 'View New Posts.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alf_NL Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 Arrgghhh, come on guys, this isn't fun anymore; I don't see any improvement. It's getting worse instead: last 157 new posts = 104 RSS Bot messages (=67%!!!)Please stop this idiot so called 'service'; it isn't of any use at all.
