Hmmm, yea Matt's right, they can't detect it all the time. The most important thing when I made the alarm clock was to make SURE that it couldn't be used on players who were NOT botting, as that would be insanely annoying and could be abused. Because when botting is detected it pops up a menu that forces the user to enter a 5 digit code to prove that they are a real human.
The alarm works something like detecting if the player has pressed the attack key so many times within the past 10 seconds or so. If they've constantly nailed the attack key without stopping, then the alarm clock detects that they may possibly be a bot. He may have set his auto-key program to attack just under that limit however. It's something that you can't really fully stop, it's just impossible to know if it's a person pressing their keys, a program, or their dog! haha, but anyway I banned him so it's all good now.
