<@gnolam>
Hmm. This is new.
01:59
<@gnolam>
Someone creates an account at a forum. Posts a dozen or so relevant replies, over the course of 2-3 weeks.
01:59
<@Tamber>
Then turns out to be a spambot?
01:59
<@gnolam>
The posts are all clean, and - as said - relevant. As is the profile.
02:00
<@gnolam>
Then the old posts are edited to include spam links.
02:00
<@Tamber>
They must be a bot, nobody posts relevant replies any more!
02:00
<@Tamber>
...ahehehehe
02:00
<@gnolam>
Anyone else get this on your fora?
02:15
<@Namegduf>
Are the posts at all conceivable to machine-generate?
02:15
<@Namegduf>
Like "+1 to this" or other vague stuff?
02:15
<@Namegduf>
Or are they obviously actually a human?
02:16
<@Namegduf>
I have heard of going back later and editing to try to circumvent people noticing spam but get the links into Google results.

If it's machine-generated, that machine would pass the Turing test.

< Reiv_>
Gnolam: I've heard of that

< Reiv_>
It's a popular tactic with compromised forum accounts.

At least one of those is recognisable from UQM. ;-)
07:05
<~Vornicus>
Heh. Actually I didn't have UQM ships in mind in particular at any point. There's a Miranu ship from EVO and a dropship from Half-Life in there but.

Blue is supposed to evoke the Y wing and a Federation ship
07:07
<@Alek>
wait what
07:07
<@Alek>
dropship?

Alek: in later levels, Troopers get dropped off by diamond-shaped ships with tails.
07:08
<~Vornicus>
(you also ride them in Xen)
07:08
<@Alek>
purple reminds me of the Millennium Falcon.
07:08
<@Alek>
hm. I don't really remember them, but ok.
07:09
<@Alek>
blue is, yes, very Federation.
07:09
<@Alek>
doesn't look much like a Y wing to me though.
07:10
<@Alek>
red is a typical jet fighter, of course. XD
07:10
<@Alek>
grey is a bit manta ray.
07:10
<@Alek>
while green is a tailless horseshoe crab. XD
07:11
<~Vornicus>
Grey is the dropship, Purple is... I've seen ships like that, but damned if I remember where.
07:11
<~Vornicus>
Green is the miranu freighter.
07:12
<~Vornicus>
red and blue are kind of obvious
07:19
<@Alek>
I just said. millennium falcon. XD

I meant more, the ball in the middle is independent
