We have been having a problem with spam recently, we have been spammed twice in a row so far, and the script gets more elaborate each time it comes back. last time it just removed the delete video option in the playlist, this time it was made impossible for the bot to remove the video. My solution is simple: we keep the playlist locked, but attempt to make it apparent that you can still add videos with the locked playlist.

if anyone has ideas, please post them here.

Keep in mind I am underage, and will therefore have to neglect any of your advances.

And the playlist shouldn't be locked all the time. It's kind of annoying to keep using the $add command.

you can't simpy prevent someone from using the script, the people add the script like a video, and the bot can't tell. Normally the bot would be our line of defense in removing these invalid videos. The locked playlist is really the only safe way, any other way we are susceptible to attacks that may last indefinitely.
