Confess my caving is within Other Area...

[Honest John]

...but look to ukCaving to communicate and learn.  For example, I have Canadian two dollar coins
drilled to accept caving bootlace at base of tongue.  Red Wing forestry firefighter boots if polished
better display silver around a golden core.  Each step displays an English Queen or Canadian Bruin
in bright relief.  They both keep pace with me.  Are convinced such bears enjoy each cave.  Royals
need to get outside more in my opinion.  Suggest metal identification tags attend all caving boots.
Then we all need only a moment at tightness end to identify gender by our most likely viewing.
Military type metal stamping denotes blood type and religion in addition to other succor.

Everything you write reads like a series of cryptic crossword clues, its quite taxing to fathom. Do you speak/think/generally communicate in this manner, or are you affecting a style?

I wonder if its just random stuff created by a spam bot, seen this sort of stuff in e-mail, using key words such as caving?

Or maybe he is just a poet, or a song writer as they tend make no sense either. Its a pity it don't rymn.

Don't scan either, but I wish I'd got a dose of what he's on.

A spam bot gets my vote....

Can spambots edit their posts?

[Pipster]

Yes - a sophisticated one could. The more human-like the behaviour is, the more convincing it is.

 

[Peter Burgess]

That's interesting. I imagine such a sophisticated bot could also spot when it's receiving attention in the form of replies etc as well.

 

[Pipster]

very easily!

 

[Peter Burgess]

would it complain if it was banned from the forum?

 

[TheBitterEnd]

Of all the forums in all the world it chose to walk into this one? Surely something that sophisticated would be able to use the enter key correctly?

Also what is he/it selling? It would be easier and cheaper to pay someone (Amazon Mechanical Turk for example) to make posts on here than write a bot this sophisticated just to amuse a bunch of cavers.

Personally I think his posts have brought a welcome bit of colour and character to the forum.

 

[Peter Burgess]

If you were developing a Bot for some more sinister purpose, you might choose a harmless little place like this to do some trials before unleashing your powerful new destructive beast on the wider world!

Unless he starts posting links for viagra, or whatever, I'm happy to let him waffle on.

... which otherwise is so sadly lacking in those attributes ?  Hmmm...  :-\

As you're a moderator just be aware that at least one forum participant disagrees with you and thinks that the sooner he - sorry I mean "it" - is got shut of, the better.

 

[bograt]

We could always innundate him (it) with pm's?

Thanks. I'm aware.

As it happens, "it" has already been put on a pre-moderated-posting-only status by another member of the forum staff, so you're not likely to be troubled further.

That's good - was beginning to think that the "human" rights of a spambot could trump the unease of a few real human beings.

 

[popeass1]

Having read this several times now, I  understand he is saying he affixes coins to the soles of his boots, which leave an impression on the ground,.and if everyone had tags like this on their boots you could identify people in squeezes by the soles.of their boots,.I think? Not sure what s point is though? This seems too convoluted and human to be a spambot, how advanced is AI now?
