Bots?

[Prince Adon]

Are those bots going around posting dumb topics in general?

They're being dealt with.

If you see a thread that you think is a bot, report the post via the report link. That will alert the moderators to the content in the case they may miss the thread.

 

[Allan Paris]

I locked all the threads they created, earlier.

 

[Matt Ponton]

The threads should be deleted, not locked.

 

[Allan Paris]

Well I can't delete anything. Locking is the best that I can do. Unless that has changed and I hadn't noticed it?

How do I know if it's a bot?

 

[Prince Adon]

Idk. The names are usually weird and they're usually posting stuff pretty much advertising dumb crap. You can pretty much tell.

How do I know if it's a bot?

In general, the post is filled with random links that make no sense. Typically the posts are entirely about prescription drugs and ways to save money, and the username is a random assortment of letters.

Oh alright I get it. I guess I haven't walked into any topics like that. Thanks for the intel.

I was looking at the member section today and noticed a lot of usernames with zero posts... what's funny is that many of them are supposedly 30-40 year old women.

So how many of the 5000+ members are actually bots and can they be deleted?
