Regarding Site Downtime

I think he meant those who were accused of botting but weren't

I dont get botters... or autoclickers....wtas thepint/ the troble is not worth it Xb

I admit, I was kind of freaked out there for a while. I just moved, got my new internet working, came on here (for the first time in several days) and... couldn't even click my party. I thought it was my internet. I'm sorry Pokefarm was added to the recent string of DDoS attacks. And thank you for fixing it so quickly! I know of a few other places that are still suffering with DDoS attacks and are being verbally attacked by users.

I'm gone for a week and come back to this. *shakes head* I'm sad to hear the site got hit by a DDoS. These things should be outlawed. Anyway, I had a bit of a question. It's said that one's fingers must touch a mouse or a key. What about touchscreens? There's no mouse, no keys, and laptop touchscreens like mine can be really, really fast. Of course, I don't use any bots or anything like that, but - yeah. I'm not even sure how a touchscreen could be proven through livestream. No mouse to follow or keypresses to see, it's just fingers tapping the screen.

In my experience with touchscreens they're slower than mouseclicks, but i'm still sure an Interactions per second count is still possible

@Solarion Touchscreen is allowed as long as you are the one tapping the screen.

For me it's the reverse. Using my computer's touchscreen is way faster than the touchpad. Hm, I suppose so. That's a relief, Petaminx.

Just out of, um, interest - is Linkclump against the rules? I read in one post that things that allow you to open up large amounts of links at once aren't allowed, but I'm not sure since it's me that's clicking all of the Pokemon myself; I just right click and drag over a list of names and their Parties open up.

You answered yourself. Linkclump and similar things absolutely HAMMER the server with requests! This is why manually opening the links in tabs is okay, but Snaplinks/Linkclumps/similar things are not: just the fraction of time it takes you to move the mouse to the next link is enough to let the server keep on top of things.
