Bot?

[AG31]

If "someone" posts 661 times since joining on Nov 24, '25, would you conclude that it was a bot?

 

[Z_TheWriter]

Posting just to see my own count...

Edit: maybe? I'm quite active, and as you can see, not there despite having been around for longer.
Depends how many of those thread games that can get super spammy they play too.

XD It's kinda funny that this is your 4000ths post.

You joined two years after me and have almost as many posts. Are you a bot?

 

[Z_TheWriter]

A thought: Do we know if private conversations up the count?

Probably the only actual answer though is that content is easier to judge bot-itude on than volume.

If that's the only metric, no, I don't think that's enough evidence. They could be into those word game threads or others that generate a lot of quick responses.

If those 661 posts are to the effect of: Doctors hate this trick! Ask me how to live longer and healthier without working out or exercising!! Then... yeah, maybe.

Yeah, but over a span of several years.

Edit: See post #8

If I posted at the rate this suspected bot posted, I'd have posted

"Bot's" rate per day: 12
My days on Literotica.com: 1751
The posts I'd need to have made: 21,012

A scan of the most recent two pages of their posts show all but one (BDSM) in Fetish and Sexuality.

No, I woudn't. I'd probably say its someone on the site all day in one of the more chatty threads with a lot of one liners. It's easy to churn out a lot of posts in some of these forums.

The "bot's" rate pr day is ~51, based on the info you gave.
Mine is ~14

If I played more forum games or ventured outside AH more than for like 5 posts in total, I don't think me posting a bit more than 3.5 times more pr day is totally unrealistic. (Edit: Not every day over the course of years mind you, but the "bot" has only been here for 13 days.)

Why is this so important?

My point is you can't make judgements on one data point. As others have suggested, identifying a bot has a lot more to do with their content that their frequency. If you look at my last six months, my post rate has gone through the roof because I haven't been working, so... Am I now a bot?

 

[MillieDynamite]

Might be a bot, might not be, my AI detector isn't convinced one way or the 'ther.

 

[MillieDynamite]

4,000, what a slouch.

I'm not familiar with what goes on there, but I wouldn't be surprised if there's some roleplay or a little more, uh... active discussion. Maybe your bot is just excitable.

OMG!!! Millie's a BOT.....

 

[MillieDynamite]

Yeah, a lesbian sex BOT writer.

OMG!!! Millie's a BOT.....

If it's not too much trouble, can you make a good guess as to how many posts, total, you've made in the last 6 months? I took your advice and looked at the quality of their posts. No games. No role playing. I, a fairly prolific poster, would have to post over 5 times my normal rate to match theirs. It seems that those TWO data points might be good grounds for a reasonable guess.

 

[Z_TheWriter]

My posts pr day are more than twice Millie's...

Well, you might out-post me at some point.

My posts pr day are more than twice Millie's...

Not necessarily as long as its not the same post or spamming something.

You look around the playground, personals and a few other places and you'll see some people that post continuously.

The game threads like post office will also pad post count if you're active in them. Being that you need-or used to, maybe it changed-100 posts to lose the 'virgin' title, people would be advised to go play the game threads to quickly run up the count.

That many posts is more of a sign of someone with a ton of time on their hands or has some type of compulsive disorder than a bot.

I don't wanna be a downer, but posting extremely frequently every day for 13 days isn't really comparable to doing it over long periods of time.

Seriously I really do not think there is anything remotely conclusive that can be deduced from simply a post number and the date of joining - especially since that timeframe is so short. Not unless those reason out to posting like every 2 minutes or more.

We need more information to be able to say anything.

 

[MillieDynamite]

My daily count of posts averages 6.74530018192844, which means, in the same amount of time, I'd have around 75 posts.

Query: Do we know who this "someone" is?

About a thousand since April as best I can tell. Is this mysterious BOT harassing anyone? is he causing you problems? Is there a reason you're investigating them?
