[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]I was able to identify 61 posts from that poster. The exclamation points are only used in a small number of the posts. I do not think that poster is a "bot". My definition of a "bot" is a mechanism that posts automatically without human involvement. I encounter these sorts of bots daily as they try to post spam, create fake accounts (to be used for posting spam), and spider the website in order to index the content. In the over 20 years that I have been running this website, I have noted common characteristics of automated bots. This poster does not have any of those characteristics. On the other hand, this poster does sock puppet, something I just discovered. So, while I do not believe the poster is a "bot', the poster is not exactly wanted here either. [/quote] Thank you for checking, and for the clarification. How do you define sock puppeting? Pretending to be multiple PPs on the same thread?[/quote]
