These probably aren't the responses that you're looking for, but I'd like to throw my two cents in about the two issues you brought up.

1) The report system was coded primarily for everyday, non-bot uses. They put in the timer so that people would not report a bunch of things super quickly. In the case of bots, this limit does seem to be a hassle. I will look into the timer and see if we can't lessen the wait time a bit to help with reporting them.

2) Another thing to keep in mind is that Trisphee is a smaller avatar forum. We cannot just continue to add staff, because when the bots recede, we have tons of staff with very little to do. We're trying to strike a balance between too many bots and too many mods. We can definitely look into finding a new mod in a different timezone, but it's not as simple as just location.

Dawn, I seriously understand your frustrations, and trust me, we've done and are working on things to limit or stop bots. The major hurdles are development time and the fact that computers are better at most common deterrent methods, which leaves humans having trouble with them out of luck.
