human question harassment
Forum-Index → Bug Reports → Resolved → human question harassmentplease fix this super annoying problem I have at least 600+ people that I usually need to click back at any given time and yes I am fast enough to click back everyone in under 7 minutes without using the help of any stupid clicking program it is just purely my quick reflexes because I plan to keep expanding my friendlist as long as people add me back and I don't want some are you human question that calls my clicking skills into question getting in my way of helping them
if you need to alter the program so that it only shows up when a certain number of click backs happen in a set amount of time that would help alot for example 350 clicks in 1 minute might be a program I'm good but not that good lolz XD
I think calling it "harassment" is a little exaggerated, but I can understand where this would be frustrating if it seems to appear really often. however, I don't think changing the system is necessary. personally, I think it's a feature that works fine with most people. it's just doing its job.
People can set auto-clickers to work at a "human" speed, and with a more advanced one you can set it to stagger your interactions and vary the time slightly between the clicks to make it seem even more natural. You can't have the check only appear on super fast, super consistent interactions because many auto-clickers come with the ability to adjust settings so that you can disguise the clicks as being from a human. Also, they are going to check multiple times without a limit because they need to - just because someone clicked manually in the morning doesn't mean they wouldn't have turned on an auto-clicker in the evening. If they changed it to only check a certain number of times a day, then everyone could wait until that number of checks occurred, answer, then turn on their auto-clickers for the rest of the day knowing no checks will occur.
Everyone gets checked. I get checked, and I interact quite slowly and rarely. Some days I don't get checked at all, other days I get checked maybe twice within 5 minutes because the check is completely random. It takes maybe 3-5 seconds to answer it, not a huge amount of time and not a huge inconvenience especially if your device is really that fast. The check is important for combating auto-clickers and I believe that a 5 second time-out from interacting is a small price to pay for a fairer site. I really don't think that they could do what you're asking without making the system redundant and extremely easily avoidable.
Everyone gets checked- you aren't the only one. It's completely random and changing it to appear at a set amount like you've suggested would make it easy for people using an auto-clicker to get around it, and that's bad for the site. The system keeps the site fair and it's important, even if you find it annoying.
It's randomly triggered through any page you can interact with pokemon (so clicklists or their summaries)
It's not based on how fast you interact
Nor is it based on the number of interactions.
If anything, it's triggered by page loads, so you get it less through the clicklists than you do through the summary clicks.
And, yes, it is definitely triggered by page loads, since you can refresh on a summary or refresh a clicklist without interacting and trigger this check.
If you want to do an interaction of a set list without running into it so often, you can always build your own clicklist. (There's a limit to how many can be added, though. I think the limit is 100, but I may be wrong. I don't really remember...)
If you build your own clicklist, it's not re-loading after so many pokemon. It'll re-load at the end of the list.
