@DanYHKim because you'd be surprised how many people don't use cell phones for safety and privacy reasons, it's one of those double edged sword arguments.
@TrueGoddessReincarnation Nope, the last wave of spam bots we had (the one that had viruschat link) all had the same avatar of 02's cosplay, definitely not the default avatars
@Zephyrus
What exactly is the harm of accepting one of those compromised accounts as friends? Can they do something to your account just because you're now friends? Does that grant them any extra power?
@TrueGoddessReincarnation But then they could just reprogram the bots/scripts to set another avatar instead, I think banning based on avatars is not exactly a good way to prevent bots.
