Date: 2008-05-04 05:01 pm (UTC)I don't like this bot.
As you say, there is a difference between a fan directory and a fan history. It is hardly a history-making act to post a story to ff.net. There is no news value in the mere posting a story, and thus, no justification to record the author in a "fan history."
It just comes across as someone aggregating content for possible profit.
But what really bothers me is that this bot is ignoring the desire of many fans to maintain a low profile. I don't expect to be treated this way by fellow fans.
Fans shouldn't have to actively take steps to opt out of FH. Opt out should be the default.
