How do you know it's a bot ? It's in the name Any human can choose a user name which includes "bot" in the name. The player you mentioned has played 30+ different games and thus cannot be a bot. There have been single cases where somebody has programmed a bot that could play a single game...

1. Is there a policy on bots? See https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=45569 I didnt find a link to moderation reports. On the player's profile page, the "Report this player" button is at the top. I followed the link to the policy discussion. The discussion went to a bunch of ...

It's in the name

I set up a game and one of the players who joined is a bot. I would like to get out of this game, as I am here to play against people, not provide bot training services. 1. Is there a policy on bots? 2. How can I get out of the game? 3. How can I prevent bots from joining my games? Bots should be se...

It seems like the best of both worlds, bec in theory you can get to any game state by replay, but not so much in reality bec it's very slow and controls are bad. I would think they could ...

Now there are new tasks, but only 6. Seems like bug but I can't be sure since we never played this mission before. https://...

Maybe they don't think anyone values final position. We wouldn't need it if full replay worked bett...

I assume it's to reduce server disk usage, but I don't know how much impact it has. What's even stranger to me is that it is very unreliable. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it seems to be available to one player, but not another, in the same game. Sometimes even for a very simp...

Love bga and am premium member, but seriously thinking about dropping it, bec I find it so incredibly annoying to not see the final game situation or replay final turn. Many times, I won't see a game is over in time, and never get to see what even happened or know how did I win or lose. I find this ...

oh wow, thank you. I totally missed the "reputation track bonus" text. Thank you, glad i didn't post the bug, since it did turn out to be me missing something stupid!
