So weird. and repost bots can get outta here, for the record. Was that one particularly obnoxious or prolific? I block a lot of heavy posters.
I was mostly bothered by the reposts that included an [OC] tag when it clearly wasn't. Also it was really funny how they simultaneous claimed not to be a bot but also described in detail how their repost script worked ... it was quite entertaining.
I think I know what account you're talking about. I think their justification was they also use that account as a person so their script is an "automation tool" instead of a not.
I don't know why people who run content mill bots think they are providing value.
Lol, I see.
