It's not a bot. It's some random user posting AI shit. It's basic trolling. Won't be able to ban it without fucking up shit. Which is what the troll wants. Just ignore or block if it bothers you.

They registered over 100 new accounts today and then used them one by one to post spam over the last 5 hours... I just right now deleted about 40 accounts and 200 posts and comments that were clearly all by this same person. They definitely have some automated tools. Some of the accounts are aged 6+ months. I turned the cloudflare up

The guy claims he is doing it to teach the site a lesson to implement spam measures. He did the same to chat last year or so.

I can't imagine spending literal years spamming a tiny site, having all your posts deleted repeatedly, and then thinking yourself the good guy. What a nutter. Sounds like a typical narcissist, not surprised. Turning up the cloudflare stopped him.

His explanation is like if I walked around punching people to teach them to be ready for punches. It's the kind of explanation a 4th grade playground bully would try to come up with, lol

I made the same comment about setting your neighbor's house on fire to teach them how to put out fires. One's man's waste of time is another man's hobby, I guess.

Great minds think alike, ha. Completely agree with your analogy.

Could be a hobby by one deranged individual, but it also might be a group that is paid to attack many forums. Either way our response is the same, so it doesn't really matter I guess. I would just think a lone nutter would eventually get bored or move on to something else after years of failure...

What if it's done by clownflare themselves, to get you to keep using them 😲

They gain IP address info from us every time we click that human box, somewhat valuable to them. Project honey pot.

Better than letting the forum be destroyed by bad actors. Nothing is perfect, and saidit is no exception.

His head is so far up his ass he doesn’t know if it is day or night.
