Not sure if serious. It's a bot, posting wwe.com content, in its own section. You don't have to enter it. It doesn't make ANYTHING cluttered at all. If anything, it cleans up the spam we get from multiple users already posting wwe.com stuff.

Remember he is in tapatalk which just shows unread threads regardless of section, so not going in isn't an option.

You can browse by forum but that's a pain for me at least so I just have it on the unread threads bit. It's a lot better then any mobile site tbh.

I'd love to do some testing but my phone is older than herpes.

Do you HAVE to use applications to get on the web? I'd love a screenshot of what the site looks like on tapatalk.

Since a very small perchent (Testify <3) of our members are using tapatalk, we won't disable the bot. There must be a better app to use or something. You can always just, you know, ignore the bot...

If I'm honest this is such a tiny issue. You complained about signatures when you used your computer and now this lol.

And I have every right to. I'm a consumer and can complain if a product isn't up to par.

I found this forum using tapatalk. I tried using my computer but really don't want to get seizures from all the different sigs I Have to filter through. Lol

The bot is useless and almost every topic it produces has at least one f you not response.

I would much rather one of the fanboys create a topic that we can discuss about the topic rather then having to click on the topic, then having to click on the link the topic has.

It's a pain in the ass and makes me not as active because as a consumer because It's a pain in the ass!

Seriously. If you want new users. You do find them through tapatalk. It now works for me after the it updates on my iPhone so I can now post in every forums I'm allowed to. BUT if every one who finds you and like most, goes to the latest topics through tapatalk and find nothing but wwe.bot garbage filling up their timeline followed by at least one poster following with "fuck you bot" among other things. How do you expect your brand to grow?

The forum isn't the product, the membership is. Also, 99% of us use computers but have had no seizures as far as I know... what does that tell you lol? No one else has ever complained about signatures, in fact, more complain about lack of signature space.

Anyway, the bot isn't useless. It generates traffic and organises the wwe.com news. Of course we'll get crappy news posts from it, as soon as I installed it I said to users "Quite a lot of them will have 0 replies". Some of the threads are useful, it announces the opening segments for RAW for example.

Tapatalk gets us very few members, though, the very few members it does get us I of course want to remain, but I'm doubting very many of them will leave because of a few bot threads. Maybe there's a way to stop bot threads from showing up on tapatalk but meh, I'm not sure there is.

If it becomes a massive issue for everyone, I'll disable it right away.
