Hi,

I also meant sign off and sign in automatically when I said restarting. I wonder why no one has any technical solution to this problem.

I early suspected that my ISP has problem. To check this i pinged to the yahoo messenger server in -t mode and watched whether it is breaking. I saw sign off/sing in automatically on yahoo messegner but there was no break in the communication with yahoo messenger server.

Has anybody faced similar problem and found a solution. please help! this is an SOS call 🙂

thanks.

Hi Jimmy,

I agree with your points. I chat in IRC and they have this system in which every channel is owned by an opertaor. he/she has full control over the channel due to which the bot attacks are minimized.

Yahoo should think of some more novel ways of stopping bots, like asking for verficiation code, say after every five minutes. This way, the bot starter would have to enter the verificaton code after every five minutes.
I can also see some of the bots returning, and if the old ones take over these chat rooms once again, then this effort is simply a waste.

The spam check box option is also of no use. If they start deleting the account based on spam check, then I can get any account deleted by simply clicking the spam check box. I think they are using some kind of statistics before they decide to delete the account based on spam check box.
I think there is hardly any way to stop these bots. The most effective method woudl be to make it a paid service, which I am sure will not be accepted by the cyber space lovers 🙂

– gud
