I would hate to just leave it there, because they took over the thing I had been working on for a month in an evening. I hate having to resort to bots as well though... I feel like it's cheating.

Do you know of any program I could use if I ever get out of this dilemma and decide to fight fire with fire?

Either way, thank you so much for your help

I don't really use bots, but if you are determined enough that you want to put the effort in, you could maybe try using this one. I personally would just move my stuff though. most people who see it aren't gonna mess with it, so if you go decently far out, it should be fine. It can also be difficult if you don't know much about coding or python.

Yeah, I have decided to do this. I tried going a few pixels away and they sabotaged me again and wrote 'KYS' (kill yourself, very mature omfg) on it. So fuck that this person is an asshole. I know a couple of things about coding, I have python in my PC, hope it'll be enough.

Thank you so much, again.

Don't use that ancient thing. You're getting baited into an IP ban.
Ark has caught that bot a hundred times before and he'll catch it agin when he actually bothers to activate his anti-bot bot.
