Odd posts!

[ClareC]

Is it my imagination or has there been a sudden increase in (new users writing) odd posts - not really making sense etc.

I understand some people like to stir up arguments etc so are purposely controversial but I wouldn't say the one's I've noticed recently fall into this category.... they just don't make any real sense and seem rather pointless.

Each to their own I guess if it is someone's idea of "fun".

Yes, we thought this was a bot, but turns out it really is a person. (S)He gets banned, (s)he pops up again. They're obviously very tech savvy, a right weirdo and definitely a complete PITA.

Don't Worry just ignore them, sometimes the true can hurt you.

Just don't look at it !

Cool your jets Clare, Brendan's something of an acquired taste.

I think to ignore she means to the forumities and not to the Lady

she is not the one whos is using other peoples information.

Excuse my ignorance - but what is a bot and a PITA?!

[mockney piers]

a bot is a piece of software that automates a task basically.

In this sense one designed to emulate a human posting on a forum.

a pita is an acronym, the first three letters stand for Pain, In and The.

Definitely very odd!

Crikey, I am relativvely new to this forum and known for the occasional act of keyboard randomness... Apologies, I am still learning the forumite code and hope to settle down by Crimbo.

I do wonder why you bother reading things that strike you as odd? I find some of the topics on here a bit strange but when they make for interesting reading, a bit like car-crash tv, I am glued.

[ClareC]

:)-D

You were not whom I was referring ;-)

The random one's have appeared mid thread and been incomprehensible and meaningless, hence wondering what the point of them actually is. Will just ignore in future :-)
