The Pirate Plague of the Dead: How to Avoid Getting Infected

In the vast expanse of the internet, there exist countless threats lurking in the shadows, waiting to pounce on unsuspecting users. One such menace is the pirate plague of the dead, a scourge that has been plaguing GameFAQs for far too long. This insidious force manifests itself in various forms, from overzealous search engines to malicious browser add-ons and scripts.

The primary culprits behind this digital pestilence are those who overuse search engines with an alarming frequency, using badly configured or poorly written browser extensions to block content, or running 'scraper' programs that masquerade as legitimate users. These rogue agents clog the system, overwhelming GameFAQs' servers and triggering its anti-spambot measures.

Moreover, some unofficial mobile apps have been detected utilizing GameFAQs as a backend, but these contraptions do not mimic the behavior of genuine web browsers. The consequence is that frequent use of these browsers can lead to temporary or even permanent IP blocks due to the excessive requests generated by these programs.

Furthermore, certain add-ons like Brave browser and Ghostery send additional traffic to GameFAQs' servers for every page visited, subsequently transmitting this data to third-party entities. This is tantamount to online surveillance, and we strongly advise against using these browsers until this issue is resolved.

Lastly, the latest version of Opera browser has been identified as a key contributor to invalid requests sent to GameFAQs' servers, resulting in IP blocks due to excessive HTTP requests.

In conclusion, it is essential to remain vigilant against the pirate plague of the dead by avoiding the aforementioned pitfalls. By adopting responsible browsing habits and shunning rogue software, we can collectively protect the integrity of GameFAQs and ensure a safer online experience for all users.
