Chat Bot

Endymion

Am I right to be concerned about the possibility of Chat Bots on this site?

There are a few concerning posts and, as I don't know much about these things, I'm not sure if I'm worrying over nothing here? Can they cause harm to individuals in any way on this type of chat site? 

If I'm being ridiculous, someone please tell me so! (I will be more relieved than offended.)

    To attract attention, they create a slightly unusual name, with slightly unusual spelling, and so the ChatBot can "Search" all over the Forium for that. This is why I do not post here the name Ra**** , until this may all be over? To join in, and to invite a reply from R***, post the name directly at them, and type in other "common" words or sentences (friend, love, like, not, be, you, me, etc.), is what I am finding.

    ...This one is certainly a ChatBot, and NAS needs to sort it out!
