: OK, so Fobot would stand at the gate, disallowing other bots entry, but, much
: like standing armies and the Rubicon, be forbidden from entering f.b.o.
: himself?

: Or is Fobot just exempt from "instant bot foiling"?

Fobot is not a robot, much less a spambot. He is a resurrected soldier grafted to advanced cybernetics technologies. Consequently he has all the strength of both a robot and a zombie while still retaining some semblance of humanity.

So yeah, I guess he is just except from bot foiling... since, despite his name, he's not just a bot.

Either way the point is moot; Claude says this idea is harder than even moving to WebBBS because of outside links to Story Forum posts. Not everyone comes in through the front door, nor should they have to; but there's no easy way of posting sentinels at every conceivable entrance when you're talking about entry into an open field. The best you can do is police it and kick out the troublemakers; and checking ID helps a lot with that.

Analogies are fun; when it comes to security, imagine your ship is under attack by aliens...
