I mean I get it. No one needs to tell you shit.

But why is this used instead of perma banning?

I’m curious.

Thoughts?

    Bots would likely figure it out quickly as they usually work on tandem with other bots boosting their own posts and comments which will fail if it can’t find the other bots content.

        That depends on if the developer programmed an exception for this scenario what that exception does, otherwise it would likely just crash. As for the developer they’d just make another account for the bot to use, and likely try and figure out where they went wrong to avoid being banned again in the future.
