Bots everywhere. Maybe we need an API.
Could LET design some API for providers to automatically filter users based on number of comments, number of posts, age, thanks received and so on?
I believe something like this might help providers with a tag in filtering their registrations and orders coming from members of LET, as well as connecting their client accounts with LET usernames. Something like this might help providers in filtering abuses (bots, scammers, scalpers, spammers, resellers) in an age of artificial intelligence that makes automation much easier.
I don't know if something like this can be achieved using Vanilla forum, which is why I am tagging the staff here.

Fuq me, that request is something we were thinking to send out to ADMINS for like 6 moths now.
That would make targeting promotions for LET only customers a breeze.
We would only need:
Username
Joined
Visits
Last Active
Thanked
All of these are publicly visible on anyone profile.
I can go with interrogating the API once a week even, or submitting a specified IP from where to connect, or whatever alse form of security not to abuse the API Database.
Have you seen any changes to this software in last... 3 years?
Why do you even try.
Yeah and that will be 99 of your finest biloh bucks per month to use it
regards
The true reason for the price increase got uncovered!
how about you provide all the social data you want to vps providers and leave the rest of us the fuck out of it.
Oh com on @zed, don't be rude.
Would you not wish for a promo that is eligible to users registered before on 2014, have at least 15,667 visits and were thanked 4526 times?
Would be easier to simply scrape LEB with a couple accounts, (not advising making false ones) but like you say public info, make sure your own DB and API
Yah, imagine 50 providers do that , 20 at the same time, that would do wonders for the loading times of the webpage.
..... I am not saying we did not think of that.....
Can I be on whitelist? I swear I am not AI.
Whats wrong with bots, if they buy?
I can offer this for free. Sillycat Services has a bot account that messages the user a code on LET, the user enters it to confirm they own the account and then they can purchase the promo. The browser is fingerprinted to hell and back to confirm no bot.
if you create that promo and i choose to give you that into so i can participate, that's on me.
i absolutely do not consent to @jbiloh providing links between this entirely fictitious personality and my real name/address/phone that you have in your database.
although i guess that's another good reason to use bullshit info with providers, good point.
Let me see what I can do hmmmm
AI is the future. Bots talking to bots.
Maybe we need ID verification here on LET.
Protect the deals and protect the kids too! 🤡
It's been 20 months from here https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/4074927/#Comment_4074927
linking let accounts to host databases who kyc'd your ass over $7, what could possibly go wrong.
@host_c was A and B taken?
Why you need vanilla for that?
Just join the relevant tables with functions using any server side lang and output the query to a custom page.
actually yes, not even as a joke
Ahh it’s fine, plenty of services already scraping this forum including the 10’s of server comparison lists, and deal finders
If you want to help LEB, just make the API public for anyone else to poll
