Any idea on why a very inactive bot (signed on successfully, answered a few requests over a 10 hour period), would get blocked by AIM? I got the email that a few of you have seen before
We have detected that the AIM Screen Name <xxx> with this email address has been used in a way that violates the terms and conditions of the AOL Instant Messenger service. Because of these violations, AOL has suspended the use of this screen name. If you believe that this suspension has occurred in error, please fill out the form located at www.aim.com/suspended_account/report.adp. By providing accurate information, you will enable us to properly investigate the situation.
Using net::oscar, and have never had the issue with any other bots running exact same code (over 50 of them).
Maybe you just got picked out. AFAIK, bots violate the T&Cs. If they did a random spot-check and saw it was a bot, then that's your answer. _________________ ~ Josh
