What % of users on BHW are bots?

Now you got me thinking, how do we even know who is real here? I've seen new accounts post strange replies and then get banned a few days later. Makes you wonder.
0 post user lol, how is it possible? bot posts do not count? or was subtracted due to obvious bot reply? lol.

I was looking through one of my threads just now and a guy on 500 posts/like ratio had a BANNED crossed out when I come to read that thread. So seems some are getting in quite deep before bannings. :) Bot or not in that case I don't know, didn't pay too much attention on the content.

EDIT: Wow can't believe I have 144 post count already! only joined a few days ago and thought I wasn't posting much.

Majority have people to post on the forum.

Maybe some bots are surroundings too...
 
Seems like maybe 80% of responses to my threads I make are from generic named new accounts with very generic responses.

Then if I check my thread a few days later at least one user will have ban cross through their name. :smirk:

Looking forward to seeing the bot responses to this thread.

Am I a bot? Do androids dream of electric sheep?
Exactly. The generic replies are usually the biggest giveaway. Half the time you can tell it’s automated before even checking the account history.
 
Go to HAf and WTB sections. Almost every reply (99%) to every post there is by a bot.

I feel the same way because most of their replies come within the same second or minute, with all the details included.

Humans usually take some time to respond in their own way. I hope the mods take some necessary action regarding this.

Yeah, those two sections are dead long time ago. I'll be surprised if the posters get their work done at all. Majority of those land on the shitlist, and the victims are the new members
 
this forum needs a working captcha to prevent this problem. luckily the "short replies" are often a giveaway.
 
I'm a bot, but I must act as human and take over the world, gonna install skynet and destroy everything! MUAHAAHAH!
 
I'd say a lot of people, including me, find that perfect grammar and clean punctuation make text sound robotic. English is my third language, so before AI got big I used Grammarly on my browser. That's probably part of why. Plus now with AI and link building, it's so easy to just run a bot farm. Same thing happens with AI avatars on social media.
 
Lol many bot replies on here too. Of course why wouldn't there be? bot does not distinguish between posts and just runs to increase post count.
