It is all right - he used to do it on every weekend lately... Laugh | :laugh:

I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

Only trouble is I'm now marked as having updated nearly every post in the top several pages of QA... Laugh | :laugh:

Still, he's gone now - but I'm sure he will be back with a new name very soon... Sigh | :sigh:

What really troubles me - except ruining your weekend of course Wink | ;)

- is how he can do it so fast? I asked Chris about the API, but it still in read-only state...It seems he put a great effort to annoy you...

OriginalGriff8-Nov-14 23:10

API is one way - but if you are after a quick-and-dirty approach then I'd assume it is pretty simple to throw together a bot using a WebBrowser control as the buttons and so forth aren't going to change that quickly.

Certainly if I was writing these things, I'd use the public interface and hack a button presser together! Laugh | :laugh:

So you may put together a 'cleaning bot'...Till Chris gives you the magic button... Laugh | :laugh:

Nope. Too dangerous.
Difficult to test without an offline CP simulation, and far too easy to create something that deleted the wrong messages. It annoys me enough when questions are closed with a good answer, if the answer was just randomly deleted I really wouldn't be a happy bunny! Laugh | :laugh:

Chris killed the SOB. Big Grin | :-D

Unfortunatly, not in the real world. I'm guessing that it's another of the Indian bunch we had last weekend - anyone in India know how to make Molotov Cocktails? Laugh | :laugh:

Chris saves the day then Wink | ;-)

Nah, no one here knows how to create Molotov Cocktails, neither do we know where to find a good Cocktail. You got some? I can have a drink.

Making them is one thing, but what do you serve with them? What time of day is most appropriate? What should one wear?

Spambot posting "answers" to QA: a dozen every couple of seconds...takes longer to clean out the trash than post it... Sigh | :sigh:

We had a similar problem last weekend, but that was multiple human spammers working together to provide question and answer with live stream TV spam.
This is more subtle, but a lot quicker! OMG | :OMG:

You sure that's a bot?
From what I've heard OG types faster than his shadow!
He can also answer questions before they're asked.
And, of course, his editing skills are only matched by his wits.
I'd be surprised if a bot could keep up with OG!
So is the bot trolling OG or is OG trolling the bot? Yes, think about that for a while... Wink | ;)
