Re: Attack of the bot
I remember when I was a mod, there were odd occasions where I'd think "is this... something I should do something about?"

Are we really gaining the occasional user who joins a little after midnight and fires off 4 or 5 posts in the span of a minute, or are the bots getting way more sophisticated? Because even though it seems fishy, some of these rapid fire posts kind of make sense in the thread they're posted.
