    If I've read between the lines correctly, Number is referring to directly confronting / challenging / posting publicly about new members who they suspects are bots or spammers.

    Rather than just reporting (via the More > Flag to moderator links) or emailing the community manager, as we should do. I still report such posts / members regularly, including bookmarking suspect posts or profiles, and then revisiting them later to check for any newly inserted spam links and reporting them accordingly.

    I find that plenty enjoyable and satisfying enough, personally.

  • I'd love to think so........but I suspect it was more "fluffy" than that!......although I do (most genuinely) think that this aspect of bot/commercial invasion, WAS defo part of the drive for what we now have.

  • Are there lots of bots on here, I have wondered? Is this what we went through all that nuisance of a relaunch for?

  • Bunny.  If things are written between the lines, whether those things are perceived by me as being either right or wrong, I will also assume they have been placed there for a reason......or that I have simply got the wrong end of the stick.

    In those circumstances, I may then choose to also "write between the lines" in order to avoid causing tension, conflict or upset.  I think that is best.  Overt confrontation is not something that I, personally, do.  I will pass comment.  I always try to be kind and accommodating.

    "Reasonable allowances" within this community are golden.  

    RANDOM - can result in fun......joy.....abstraction.....difference.......and so long as it all has benign intent.....free of hubris.......that is OK, in my opinion.
