I'm curious as to why people actually waste their time posting the sorta rubbish they do, surely spamming an online game ain't gonna boost sales or whatever they're aiming to do

Am I the only one who's noticed bot-like accounts posting on other threads with links in their signature advertising stuff? Tongue

One example

I think there's more examples too..

Yeah. I find it hilarious. That what series would you like to see as a film guy has one. And a few others.

I noticed one was a bot when it replied to something that had NOTHING to do with the thread bit had one word it picked from the topic and made a sentence about it. Like Nintendo or something like that.

Yeah, they don't get very much out of spamming the board. Pretty pointless and a waste of their resources.

If anyone sees more posts/threads with advertisement links be sure to report them. Smile

Couldn't the forum have some sort of captcha or whatever you call it, everytime you open the forum in a new page/tab you have a captcha where you put a code in and you don't have to enter the code again until you use the forum in a new session?
