my bot has been up for 22 days now

the bot is on my server which is behind a strong and secure firewall.

until yesterday, i didn't no what port the bot connected to this site with to send the uptime packets, so we were never listed

however i unblocked the port on my firewall yesterday, and now the bot connects to this site fine

problem now tho, is that all the bots running on this server which include:

BecBrown
DanReason
ShoutBot
and
Srv1bot

are all listed as untrustworthy bots. is this because the packets have only started reaching you after 22 days of uptime???

is there anything i could do about this cos im hopeing to get a large uptime, and if there is nothing i can do, i may as well restart the bot now, and start it again

Thanx

There is nothing you can do.

Any1 bot that sends the first uptime packet after 4 days is marked as untrustworthy.

Otherwise, some wisecrack programmer, could send a increadibly large uptime for no other reason,t haty being first.
