Lol, u think? Let's test shall we?

Hey freespeak, to prove you are not a bot, respond using "cameltoe" in a sentence.

I've got this,freespeak.
Why does the camel limp?
He has a sore "cameltoe"!

Maybe it's part of cyberwar?

Fortwayne - what is "part of cyberwar"? Are you a bot too? Programmed to say "liberals" or something about "the gays" every 3rd comment?

At least freespeak is somewhat sentient

Yeah, I concur, this sucks. First check in today and wow, unreadable. This bot needs a limit.

There are now two new threads regarding the behavior and freespeak hasn't addressed either thread. It's got to be a bot or person with just pages and pages of posts/comments to copy and paste. Normal people would defend their behavior if they thought it was normal.

Patrick is the only one here! It's amazing that he can post all the stupid threads & comments.
Yes he's bragging.

Freespeak is now "nyc" and is still at it. Patnet is under attack.

Updating the title as the bot's name is now NYC

Ignore really works!

Good bot

There aren't any sentient Patnetters.

Updating this post as I am now sure that "Home" is the successor to Freespeak/NYC. I still am not sure if this is a very good sentient bot, or an honest to goodness paid troll from Hong Kong who has all sorts of anti American responses and posts cued up and ready for release.

In fairness, it appears to have learned, and went from the 1 post per minute pace of Freespeak to the pace that would resemble some of our active posters here. This also poses an interesting "free speech" question in that its very likely that ether the creator of the bot or organizer of the paid troll is almost certainly an outsider seeking to sow seeds of doubt and division amongst Americans who inhabit this site. Do we give them a platform to speak and further their message if their ultimate intent is to weaken/destroy America?

@Patrick, if you decide to take action, please just disable him like you did "Freespeak", do not nuke like you did "NYC" as I find it interesting to track whatever this is coming out of Hong Kong.

who has all sorts of anti American responses and posts cued up and ready for release.

Anti American? Which ones?

It seemed like the posts were Pro America but I could be mistook

I was assuming "anti" in that it seems to me that the general "bent" of the message is that the US is not what it once was, and is now on its way to third world status. But I suppose that you could take that as "pro" in that the implication is we should do something about it.

@somecrappynumber you are right, "home" is also out of Hong Kong, going by IP address. I won't delete. So far the 7 post limit seems to be working.

New username Oil? Early in the pattern, but seems on par with past behavior.

Looks that way. It does appear to be learning in that it doesn't spam the board like it did before. Interesting too in that unlike some patnet commenters who got rickrolled into posting things from fake sites like the "Denver Guardian" it does appear to pull stories from legitimate news sites.

S/he keeps posting truths that seem to make people very uncomfortable, because it looks anti-American losers look bad
