I have bots blocked and they still show up in comments. I think it only blocks bots from main posts.
I don't personally mind this particular bot, but most of them are annoying so I block them all.

Corsair intends to keep Drop as a separate brand within the company
I'll give that about 6 months before they "have to merge" and the layoffs begin.
The AC-130 is my favorite plane.
Printables seems pretty superior at this point.
After their crypto crap, this doesn't surprise me one bit.
And don't give me that "You can disable the crypto" the fact is, you shouldn't have to because it shouldn't have ever been included in the first place.
And those are the types of excuse that keep them from even trying. "Well you didn't pay us enough, so we aren't going to even try. By the way, your cost of membership are going up, because membership numbers are plummeting. Totally not our fault though."
People (like me) are pretty fed up with the hands constantly being shoved asking for more, while getting less and less for what we give.
As long as corporations view it as a way to make more cash, it will never be safe. I'm really hoping the ARRL does what amateurs are paying it to do, and fight this tooth and nail. Sadly their track record doesn't give me hope at all.
The point is you shouldn't have to "just use a proxy", it's an unnecessary block because people happen to live in the "wrong" countries.
Admins, make sure you update to 18.2, this has already been patched:

I still have a 3D Plasma TV. I haven't found a reason to replace it as it's still going just fine.
You shouldn't have to though. The whole "only available if you happen to live in X" is so much bs when it comes to things like this. Sure if it was a giveaway and needed to be shipped, I could understand. But a website being locked away to only certain regions is ridiculous.
It seems the same things keep being posted multiple times, usually by bots. I have blocked bots, but they still show. It's gotten to the point I've had to start blocking them, and users the post the same things that have already been posted here multiple times.
Get rid of them I say.
