Just a reminder that we are a 100% JavaScript project, so being a “bot” against us means running a full browser, with full JavaScript, the DOM, GUI, etcetera. You’d have to basically script a browser running in Linux, Windows or OSX.
If you can show me evidence of anyone running a bot successfully against us, I’d love to see it – even human spammers barely try more than a few times, much less for 100+ days, with all the read count, like, flag, read time, etc requirements we have at each trust level.
To pull of something like that, you wouldn’t have to be a clever spammer, you’d have to be the most dedicated, smartest spammer in the world. And I’m pretty sure there’s way lower hanging fruit out there – why bother with the door that has 3 locks when most people leave the door unlocked?
