Some of the last 20-30 bot post wasn't advertising or anything like that and ET has a lot botattacks lately.
AND I've seen the same message on another site today!

Uh no. Forum spambots that register and post with nothing to "sell" have been on the rise for quite some time now. You can easily detect a bot by looking at the manner it posts.

The most clear indication of a bot is when they register and make an extremely generic post such as this one, where they praise whatever forum they registered in with a generic quip of "your site is very good/helpful site" somewhere in there + "sorry for offtopic". Also, more often than not, the bots go through the structure of the board and specifically post in the section that has the word "General" or a variant of it in its name.

Yup, and if you put the text of the post into google you'll get dozens (maybe hundreds) of hits. Still can't figure out what they're meant to accomplish though...

yeah whats the point of a bot if there not advertising anything and just making random posts. why would they do that?

[Toasty]

Perhaps, after the bot has posted in several sections and after people forget all about its threads, it updates its signature to include spam. That way, no one really notices the spam, but when search engines refresh their caches of the forum's pages, the spam gets a lot of search hits. Just a guess.

Yeah, that would really make sense.. it's like the bot, that created three totally confusing posts without much information and short time after, he had a (hindi?) signature, with (probably) some advertising!
