Haven't seen this many bots in awhile. And I still don't know what that spider's doing here.

Why a spider? Why not just another bot? Or maybe a snake?? Or maybe even...a cat...*gets sudden gleam in eye*

Yes, I've seen that before

I have no idea what it means, however <shrug>

Perhaps just that they are scanning the registration page. We probably can't tell the difference between that and someone filling in the form ready to join us.

We only accept human voices, though, so even if a bot did register, they'd only be able to volunteer to PL or BC.

I don't know how well I'd be able to work with a bot BC...

Ah, makes sense. In the Members page, there is a search criteria you can choose called 'Bots' - there are also Admins, Mods, etc.

I've never heard of a bot BCing or PLing before, would they do it perfectly? (Like word perfect PLing?) Or how would they be programmed to PL standard? I wonder if we've had a project where a bot actually did that. Probably not. Just wondering.

Noooo, I was just joking.

What really creeps me out is when it's just the bots and me...

JayKitty76 · Post by **JayKitty76** » February 23rd, 2019, 11:56 am

Yes. Or when it's just me and another newer volunteer, and we're surrounded by bots!! There's no one to protect us!!

lymiewithpurpose · February 23rd, 2019, 12:03 pm

Yep. The spider makes me nervous too... I'm stuck in a forum with a spider! Aggh!

Aaah! We have to keep our eyes out, and if more bots start popping up they're on to us
