I have asked SS to implement anti-bot measures and they have said they would. IMO it worth doing whether or not any bots are currently being used (I have proved to my satisfaction that they are.) The fact that some loans can be obtained manually proves that the bots are not hoovering up everything but does not prove that they do not exist. The accounts will need replenishing with money periodically, and the bots might be programmed to be selective. Even if you doubt the existence of bots now you cannot surely suppose that they will never arrive?
Makes sense, only danger is that whatever they do slows or complicates site. Remember MT when we had to type in password each time to invest

As I said, I know nothing of bots, I only know that my extremely frustrating efforts over the last few days has proved that someone or something is extremely dedicated and very very fast.
I was very sceptical about the whole "Botsgate scandal" till I saw this, how can balance go below 200K? Surely a human won't try to invest that much when its not even available?
If s***********k is a bot as supposed above, on this occasion he/she was surely not using that means of purchasing. It took a full 5 mins for his/her purchase to go in. None of the 3 purchasers of the £11K that went up for sale were within the first minute. Not that it proves anything, but that's the facts as I watched them unfold.

Which loan was overfunded? Been sorted now, wonder if its related to something SS are doing behind the scenes prior to a launch. eg underwriting activity

I have noted this happen (very large, transient negative availability) a number of times before in the run-up to a loan being made available. ::Hopeful smiley::

Well, not only is their internet fast, they must be glued to a constantly refreshing screen. Have you ever tried that? It's exhausting! I'm trying it and all I get is sub-100 scraps that they don't seem to want. So what are they doing that I am not? I wonder if there is a way to automate it? ;-)
