Just a note that there's a rather 'lazy' bot out there that's targeting our Plus forum about once a week.

It selects an old topic and makes a generic comment, along with a link to whatever site it is promoting that day. Usually in English, but sometimes in a language I don't recognize, and sometimes in an alphabet I don't recognize.

If you see a bot post, hit the complaint button and we'll take care of it.

any way to trace the 'membership' of said bot?

IP traces to Pakistan, but that can easily be spoofed.

I'll watch to see if he uses similar email addresses to register his membership next time.
