Open Letter to the Admin of Contrebombarde Concert Hall, concerning the bot bombardment.


Dear Contrebombarde Concert Hall Admin,

I would like to ask on behalf of the users of this website, what happened to the security update that was done a year ago to guard against further malicious robot activity?

Several weeks of recordings were lost when the update was done, and I and my colleagues hoped that the resulting security would be such that would make the loss worthwhile. It was also promised that there would be improvements to the website moving forward. We are disappointed that no such updates have materialised and that the bots are STILL bombarding the forum.

There are a good many users of this forum who use it on a day to day basis, many of whom would be happy to pay for the privilege. As your customers we deserve better service than this.

Could you kindly update us regarding your plans for the future of the site, and remove all malicious bot activity.

Many thanks for your attention in this matter

Alexander Wakeley.

Beautifully written, Alex!

I concur and sign on/append my name to this most reasonable request.

Hello,
Thank you for this message. I hope that you'll get a response from him.
It seems that Classic MIDI Works is still alive (https://us.midiworks.ca/)
Last youtube video three months ago :

Will you post your message on the Hauptwerk forum too ?

Regards,
Denis

Thank you very much, David for signing!!

I shall look at posting on the hauptwerk forum, but I’m not sure that MidiWorks would see it there. I posted this here because I’ve seen the Admin about in the Chat window in the past, and was hoping he might just notice this.

If anyone else agrees with the letter, please do sign. It’s only fair we get told what’s happening.
