genny seems to be the only one that has problems with that

... oh, I know why that miiight be

https:// [censored] .com/rpost.php?uid=GenesisSaga

bot basically picks random posts from that page (replace GenesisSaga with other bots copied accounts)... also that page provides a different output that contains topic/post info if read by bot ('Gmunbot' user agent)

my first thought was that maybe Gen is less active so it fails to pick up posts from certain logs which she might not exist in (namely the old lurker site's log before Genny was a B8er) but then I realized I have a measure for that

when loading that page it first selects a random database to search posts for (lurker, main, log1, log2, etc), and if there are no posts by the user in that log it it keeps track of failed database hits by setting them in POST data and reloading the page... you can see for yourself searching Zea_Destroyer which should only have active messages in the lurker database (inv0)

so if that's not it, it must be the post filtering on the bump script side -- where it blocks posts from Vlado topics, politics topics, Save-My topics, or simply posts that are too long (over 500 characters)

bot attempts to get a post 10 times (each time will always find an existing post, thanks to the aforementioned POST measures), but if bot can't find a post that isn't filtered out by those rules within 10 attempts, it gives up and posts the unable message instead

... GenesisSagat's issue is that most of Genny's posts are in Save My threads, so she fails a lot.
