AOL has officially confirmed that automated bot accounts are now prohibited from all public chat rooms. Your participation ensured that this disruption reached the attention of the developers. Please continue to monitor the platform to confirm that these measures remain effective.
We have all experinced the extremely annoying \"Bots\" in the AIM chat rooms. I think that bots should not me allowed in Chat rooms at all. These things can get really annoying, really quickly. They are alwasys shouting off Links telling you about \"Hot porn pics\" or \"See my web site\". Or such bots, that you may kno (AmberRun..) All bots like this dont even give you links or info about anything. they just say stoopid annoying little thigns after EVERYTIME someone types just one thing.
Now i kno you can just clcik the Ignore button on them. But we as AIM users should have to ignore every bot in the chats. I think we should have the right to chat without the bots to bother us.
Once i get alot of people signing this Petition I will send this off to AIM to see what we get out of all this. So i ask you take just 1 minute of your time and sign this for me.
The momentum behind this effort clearly demonstrates how many users are exhausted by the ongoing intrusion of automated accounts. We have reached a significant level of interest that indicates a clear appetite for change within our chat environments.

The petition has now reached one hundred signatures from users who are equally tired of automated spam in our chat rooms. This initial group demonstrates a clear consensus that the current environment needs improvement. I am preparing to present these names to the developers to request a more permanent solution for our community.
