[boot]

I know this topic has been discussed before but I feel like as the user base grows and the number of bot authors grow it's no longer going to be scaleable to have @Party @Aidden and @SlashnHax keep pushing.
Wouldn't it better to automate the process? It'd be nice for premium bot authors or authors with over x amounts of commits to have an automated process. You guys do a great job now so I'm not taking anything away from that. I just see you guys becoming busier and busier.

@Party - I understand the need for code reviews and I do agree that they're helpful but it's a lot of extra work on your part. You area already slammed with stuff especially with Runestats coming SOONTM. It'd also be more beneficial to new others.

Thoughts? If you decide against it's that fine but pin this post or something as reference to other people

i like. nothing like waiting for a push for a very small update

User safety has to remain the priority.

Leaving bots to be pushed automatically, even for trusted authors, increases the risk that they could do something malicious.

 

[sickness0666]

also true. maybe if there was more people pushing then.

Idea has already been beaten to death over and over. The solution is more bot pushers, the problem is finding more willing and trustworthy people to push. Anything else introduces too many vulnerabilities.

any requirements other than willing and trustworthy?

how come all the other forums have it..? The user security seems fine there.

Competent enough to recognize malicious code.

well if you are not 100% sure, you could leave it for a more competent person to check and push
