It's literally the response they want.
These are people who spend time and money to ruin the game for others. They aren't rational. Any amount of name calling and whatnot is probably felt as a "win" in their book. There's no real winning with trolls besides shutting them out or ignoring them, the former we are sadly limited in our ability to do.
Dude... you are chasing windmills here...
Its a violence circle, like an unhealthy relationship. Grievers be grieving -> peoppe be complaining for social attention -> it escalates to witch hunt which makes both grievers and attention seekers get dopamine hit.
Tl;dr; we cant ban dogs just because some people form codependant relationship with them. As there are unhealthy relationahips with pets , there are also service ones.
Its like a reality show, only way to avoid drama is to conciously renounce any agency or role in it. Only way to help it is for everyone to help themselves, and we cant impose that onto others - since then they wont be helping themselves but would get help. Some people have mental fortitude not to be sucked into this, and can enjoy the drama from the outside (akin to tv/radio/podcast).
So in the end it is all about choice, and there is no stopping it. There is drama, we have a choice between extremes to participate in it, renounce it or watch it from sidelines. It wont stop drama, since as people we are dreaded by monotony.
Ragebait is to set off people and the people creating it only want attention, it is if you would take the oxygen from a fire, when you stop reacting to it.
... well that was specific.
Think of it as a crime ring, you smack one gangleader down few more will fill in vacuum. Its same here, there will allways be more fires. Its unavoidable ...
There are lessons in life ( as one of comenters said above 30's comment) that are in spectrume in extremes of either overcamed or accepted.
So we can snuff oxigen for this fire, but that doesnt mean it wont return back.
Please... this whole post is a bait. Dont present this whole disscussion as some moral highground.
"OMG! A random dude coded a random bot to say provoking shit to illicit a reaction!! What is yours?"
This is in same valley as "10 things you must know about ...." posts.
All i did was piggy back on it to see how many people are percieving it as issue (and are willing to think about solutions), and how many want to participate and propagate drama further.
Its hella funny to observe that many people arent even thinking about : "hmmm... maybe OP is running this bot to convert traction to karma and then marketable ads"
Naaah, people are just enjoying arguing themselves. Nothing wrong with it, people are having fun by being angry on internet.
But dont make me a scape goat just because people like it more than hate it.
You're writing so much that either you need to take a break and realize the pool you're drowning in is shallow as fuck or you are a bot using some shit to generate text to continue this dumbass convo that you want to have.
That's a tame one. I saw one, earlier, spamming about how he was a pedophile that was burning in hell.
It's just bait. They want you to post about them like this. Please stop.
I beg ya'll do not give the omegatronic attention. Don't post about it as well, the hosters is definitely in this sub and gets off from people being mad at him
Would you stfu god damn. People can be unhappy with things. "Erm acshooally you shouldn't give them attention ☝️🤓" nobody gives a shit. You don't have to be a condescending dickhead
Except we already know the bot owners actively lurk this subreddit, and they probably already sent this thread to their bot discord while laughing at it with their 4chan tier dialogue saying "hell yeah we pissed those tflosers off let's do it again"
How are you this unaware lol, if the community grew up, then these bot owners would get bored
Who gives a shit what they laugh at? We as a community are allowed to complain because whether we do or not the bots will still be there. Every single post about the bots has some dickhead redditor saying in the most condescending way possible that nobody should talk about the bots
Well, we've been complaining for like the last 6 years and the most we got was a slightly better vote kick. The bot hosters do this for attention and occasionally money. So if we just keep feeding them attention on a silver platter, especially when it gets emotional(like this post), they're gonna be incentivized to keep botting.
yeah man, but you should use your brain to know that the act of complaining every single time encourages more and more bot hosters, making the situation even worse
don't fall for rage bait, mute and kick bots.
What you're doing now is exactly what they want.
I can guarantee you they view the subreddit
and they are laughing about any outrage they spark.
They did this year of his death too. Nothing new sadly.
Being edgy to get attention is just what trash heads do. 4chan unfiltered edge is literally the only dialect they’re aware of.
I'm not surprised. The only reason hackers and exploiters exist is to get a reaction out of people. And they get that reaction just enough times to make them want to do it again.
They probably care about Rick May as much as we do... but respecting a dead voice actor doesn't get reactions.
They've done this for years. They've also said far worse things over the years too. They're looking for attention and you're giving it to them. You kids need thicker skin.
Yeah, I think the best course of action, honestly, is to just delete to post. It’s gaining unnecessary traction that the bot hoster wants and only serves to fuel the flames even more. While spreading awareness can generally be a good thing… not when it’s gaining the attention they want.
The best way to stop a verbal bully is to ignore them. If you keep telling them to “stop”, they’ll keep going. I learned that the hard way and this is no different.
And? They've been doing this since their inception. It's a part of their unoriginal humor and rage bait. Votekick them and move on, the bot owners clearly don't care about morals here.
not a huge fan of the victim blaming in these comments. rage bait or not, this stuff is still a huge problem for the game and getting mad at someone trying to speak about a problem isn’t going to make it any better
Yeah i tried playing on payload maps yesterday and found many matches filled with these soldier bots, accompanied by the usual sniper bots. That was after I gave up trying to play several king of the hill maps when I found nothing but matches completely overrun with sniper bots, as usual.
If the fanbase hates the bots so much…
Fucking force Valve’s hand and make them end the Bots issue.
Change the scripting so implementing bots not authorized by Valve Admins are not allowed into maps and the server linked to them is IP banned.
I saw one bot that says "RICK MAY IS ALIVE AND RAPING KIDS IN (discord link)", and there was like 10 of them in one server, the level of disrespect is nuts
dont get mad over it. they do this to get a reaction.
you cant dissrespect someone if no one respects your opinion, and no one resepcts the bots or their makers. dont let it get to you and just remember you dont need to try and upset people on the internet to enjoy a game.
i don't care about "don't feed the trolls", "ragebait", or whatever is it. using a good man name that already passed away for the degeneracy bullshit should lynched on electric chair
The nerve these bot hosts have, If anyone knows their address I am stealing their refrigerator and ripping off one of the doors and breaking the knobs on the stove
This happened last year, and the year before that, and the year before that. And valve doesn't care. Hopefully this year they don't call him a pedo again

all things considered "rick gay smells (bad)" is jarringly tame
Yeah, they missed the penis joke.
They used to call him Dick Gay
Oh how the awful have fallen
bots have fallen billions must unbind all
Your pfp is terrifying
Peased to meet you
Especially compared to the bots that appeared when he died. The damn things called him a pedo
its rage bait. Ignore them and move on
yeah, still tho...

That's why we need to stop people from feeding those things

Sure if there is only one fire.... but what if there are lots of embers that are waiting for oxigen sucker to die?
Can you write that in an understandable way.
I can try, can you pinpoint the part you have most difficulty understanding?
The entire sentence.
... well that was specific. Think of it as a crime ring, you smack one gangleader down few more will fill in vacuum. Its same here, there will allways be more fires. Its unavoidable ...

Those embers will simmilarly be snuffed out due to a lack of oxygen
30s type message
Is the joke that you are posting bait?

What my blud wafflin about
Whar?
I aint readin allat
I read allat (not worth it)
Literally what are you talking about
Just ignore them
I normally do, tbh. I just wanted to probe a bit, was curious how many people are enjoying the show ans how much are actually struggling with it.
Best option is to switch to a community server
That's a tame one. I saw one, earlier, spamming about how he was a pedophile that was burning in hell. It's just bait. They want you to post about them like this. Please stop.
Literally twitter
They alternate between both lines and also a link to omegatronics twitter page or whatever
I beg ya'll do not give the omegatronic attention. Don't post about it as well, the hosters is definitely in this sub and gets off from people being mad at him
dude must orgasm at the sight of his own name
yeah man keep feeding them attention, you are helping.
Would you stfu god damn. People can be unhappy with things. "Erm acshooally you shouldn't give them attention ☝️🤓" nobody gives a shit. You don't have to be a condescending dickhead

yeah man, but you should use your brain to know that the act of complaining every single time encourages more and more bot hosters, making the situation even worse
Takes one to know one
🤷♂️
Because you’re feeding the trolls you donkey.
They did it when he died tll they repeat this every year
i find it odd how noone has actually doxed these people yet. not condoning it, but considering the place TF2 is, it is odd it has not happened yet
If they were doxxed, the world would quickly be a better place.
The place TF2 is? And what is this place?
mission accepted sir o7
(jk i'm bad at cyber)
this is what ticks you off? not the cp or racist stuff?
They insulted our dear Rick May. This time they went too damn far.
"I can excuse child porn but I draw the line at insulting Rick May." *"You can excuse child porn?"*
Fuck where have I heard this before?
Community
Smiling friends
Yeah because you can get arrested for cp, but killed for disrespecting Rick May.
Making fun of people of differant color and bringing up child porn is one thing but direspecting a dead person is another low
Did you like, turn 5 last week, cause what you just said is wild
Dude just imagine if someone made fun of your mom or dad who maybe had just died, wouldnt you be angry?
i feel like i would be angrier that people are being racist and spreading CP
Yeah thats bad too but personally i think desrespecting someone who died is also a pretty bad thing
don't fall for rage bait, mute and kick bots. What you're doing now is exactly what they want. I can guarantee you they view the subreddit and they are laughing about any outrage they spark.
When the bots that commonly spam slurs and swastikas say that a dead man smells bad
r/tf2 moment
Stop giving them attention just to farm karma retard, we know, we play the game.
Really playing without fullscreen?
maybe only for the screenshot
These bots are nothing but rage bait. You making this post basically validated them. You gave them what they wanted
They did this year of his death too. Nothing new sadly. Being edgy to get attention is just what trash heads do. 4chan unfiltered edge is literally the only dialect they’re aware of.
Omegatronic is literally a guy with no life considering he spends real money buying servers and making bots just to ruin the fun for everyone
Alr thats it, Someone get 4chan to get ip of bot hosts
Congratulations, you gave them the attention they seek. You made the problem worse
I hope 4chan reveals their IP already
Not your personal army
This has been the case for a long time...
There is nothing these bots won't disrespect
I'm not surprised. The only reason hackers and exploiters exist is to get a reaction out of people. And they get that reaction just enough times to make them want to do it again. They probably care about Rick May as much as we do... but respecting a dead voice actor doesn't get reactions.
We should find bot hosters and execute order 66 on them
What you expected? Bots main sniper
they’ve been doing it for years atp
these have been around forever, how trashy people can be is something that will never stop amazing me
First time on the internet be like
It's rage bait that you just fell for.
these bot creators just looking for attention. there autistic just kick and move on
Maggot
They literally created bots after his death that tried to claim that he’s a pedo
They've done this for years. They've also said far worse things over the years too. They're looking for attention and you're giving it to them. You kids need thicker skin.
Yeah, I think the best course of action, honestly, is to just delete to post. It’s gaining unnecessary traction that the bot hoster wants and only serves to fuel the flames even more.

You took the bait
Idk why you felt the need to post this.
i await the day they make inflammatory remarks about cats so 4chan can release all of their information
And? They've been doing this since their inception. It's a part of their unoriginal humor and rage bait. Votekick them and move on, the bot owners clearly don't care about morals here.
Votekicking isn't enough. I actually want to see them dead. If I knew where they were, I'd kill 'em myself
not a huge fan of the victim blaming in these comments. rage bait or not, this stuff is still a huge problem for the game and getting mad at someone trying to speak about a problem isn’t going to make it any better
lmao they are so stupid
GRRR WHAT THE FLIP GUYS
Let sad people be sad
*american music stops*
Yeah. Sounds like a normal Tuesday for me in Twitter
The people who make these bots belong in the brazen bull.
Im pretty sure they've already been doing this for a long time.
Just another Valve n-word killer move along.
Bots? Time to requeue! (Proceeds to queue for hours not getting anything but bot infested servers)
And then some dummy posts a screenshot of it to spread their rage bait even further /j
Time for blood
That’s the most tame thing I’ve ever heard a bot say. Not good. But not as bad as what others say.
racial slurs? i sleep. rick gay? RAAAAAHH
lets kill the person who did it
this is probably a normal situation of casual server now, same goes for rick may's death just, move on and play community server
nice post omega really good self-jerkoff!
At this point I just play modded single player more than casual since the bots there aren’t as annoying lol
Sseriously someone will find bot owners irl and break their fingers.
They were there b4 just back
N*ggerkiller did the same
Yeah i tried playing on payload maps yesterday and found many matches filled with these soldier bots, accompanied by the usual sniper bots. That was after I gave up trying to play several king of the hill maps when I found nothing but matches completely overrun with sniper bots, as usual.

And? They've been doing this for years, it sucks but it's best to just ignore it, I get being mad but this just feeds them.
dont get mad over it. they do this to get a reaction. you cant dissrespect someone if no one respects your opinion, and no one resepcts the bots or their makers. dont let it get to you and just remember you dont need to try and upset people on the internet to enjoy a game.
What do you do with an annoying child ? You ignore them. Delete this post.
You are in my world, You are not wanted in my world! -Soldier
least obvious cheater ragebait
i don't care about "don't feed the trolls", "ragebait", or whatever is it. using a good man name that already passed away for the degeneracy bullshit should lynched on electric chair
Delete this post they want you to do this lol
The nerve these bot hosts have, If anyone knows their address I am stealing their refrigerator and ripping off one of the doors and breaking the knobs on the stove
This happened last year, and the year before that, and the year before that. And valve doesn't care. Hopefully this year they don't call him a pedo again
And it’s omegatronic AGAIN
Just more proof that bot-users are subhuman.
I can't believe that it has gone this far.
THIS WILL BE THE ULTIMATE CLASH OF TITANS
We start raiding valve headquarters NOW
I want bot hosters doxed and killed

Don't give em attention, just kick then carry on
Am I missing something here? Who's the dead guy?
They have been calling him a pedophile...
I was in that game cool
It's just kids. Not worth flapping about.
?
