Hello Oscar, welcome

p.s. this should have been posted in the general discussion not site design

edit: I saw you cross posted in different forums...

Apparently, this is a sad side effect of technology evolution.. Looks like we're seeing on these forums a lot of Bots. Probably "deployed" here to test the AI tech. This specifically is the more stupid I've came across, but there are others more advanced.. They give the forum a deceiving appearance of movement..

Victhor · 10th December 2016, 15:34

PS : deleted his (it?) other posts, ironically, site design seems like the most fitting.. (if you understand "design" as the technology behind the site / forum, not only the aesthetic aspect)

musicf8 · 13th December 2016, 03:41

Well... now I am starting to see more and more of these kinds of posts... This is actually getting annoying now... :/

Victhor · 13th December 2016, 03:49

I'll begin to delete it from now on, maybe a real human may be hit at some point but it's unlikely.. And I prefer that instead of keep interacting with (so) limited AI..

I can see this being an integral part of the future though.. Imagine these bots will target most popular themes, so people will eventually seek for their participation since it'll mean your thread / subject is popular somehow..

Welcome bro!
What are you doing? How old are you? Where are you from?

Victhor · 13th December 2016, 04:04

Speaking of.. Tatastic, you're buying a permanent ban in handy little payments.. XD

musicf8 · 13th December 2016, 04:09

Speaking of which Victhor, Do you know if the "report post" actually works or goes to active moderators? I am not sure if when I report posts its going into a black hole or not.

Victhor · 13th December 2016, 04:24

It goes to all mods, I receive it and usually act within the next half hour, but sometimes other mod gets ahead (specially when I'm sleeping heh). So there must be 3 or 4 active mods I guess.

PS: Reporting is specially useful when receiving spam private messages and individual posts within valid threads (spam threads are easier to spot and never last too long on our watch).

Gotcha, thanks, good to know

Well , seen a spambot posting a reply to another spambot

it seems that the bots are getting smarter by the day
they start with normal posts and out of the blue you get your spamlink.
