Believe it or not the "robot" replied and we started a general discussion. The "robot's" name is Alexey, and unlike what I believed that he must be a young boy, he is 44 man from Kiev Ukraine, married with 3 children. He is getting 15 US cents for every post plus 30 US cents for every registration in sites. It has nothing to do with the webmaster (eg coming from competitors), nothing to do with vBulletin eighter and finally nothing to do with hight traffic sites. Actually as he admit, in sites with hight traffic moderators remove them very quickly, while in lower traffic sites there is no such quick action.

Wow Maria, Thats very sad that someone has to do this in order to provide for his family

Just goes to show that the real culprits are Criminal gangs who stand to make $$$$ by exploiting the poor and needy to do their dirty work.

Thanks for sharing
