I think there's something to the idea that CoSo is being gingerly targeted by bot farms.

@LiberalLibrarian @th3j35t3r If this is true, Jester, can you give us actions we can take to help toss the bots to the curb? Thanks!

I tend to doubt literal bot farms. The fact that posts can't be crawled by search engines except what's on their PLP makes it less attractive. But I think there is an aggrieved community of former :trollsplat: -ees who find it amusing to try to stir shit up here.

it's hard to distinguish one from the other. both compulsive.

@holon42 @LiberalLibrarian
I think from J's end, it's less difficult. Bot farms have to have access to a large number of IP addresses to register from. That's part of why J blocks whole countries that serve botfarmer customers. It makes the other abused IP addresses easier to identify and block.

ah, that makes sense. he would notice if there were some of those trying πŸ’©πŸ’©πŸ’©.
