As long as we have @newtboy here, we're protected. And as far I know he's not a bot. Bot's don't have emotions.

No way bot! That's like 30 human years, right? Do I get a prize/reward?

Well bot it is *dead anyway.

you suck at your job, bot!

*isdupe

Bot oppressing Sift members. Burn it down!

screw you bot-butt! I've been on this site for 9 years now! I know a dupe when I see it!

Sometime in the near future, when these things are running around killing us, I will remember this code is buried somewhere deep in their AI Core. As it's standing over me, about to deliver the killing blow, I will hit the play button on my phone, (cued up the uptown funk song earlier just in case). As the death-bot starts to uncontrollably moonwalk, I will slip away to survive another day in this hell on earth, delivered to us by Bostondyne Systems.

FYI...#walkaway is a right wing campaign where they had republican actors (and stock photos) claim they were Democrats who were sick of the liberal nonsense and they, and millions like them, were walking away from the Democrats. It was for right wingers, not left, false verification that they are correct and lefties are finally coming around to their truth, and a counterpoint to the "blue wave" campaign. They were caught on day one, and it never caught on outside right wing websites, mostly because it was a horrible, stupid, poorly implemented, transparent ploy. No surprise that, even though he knows that, Bob still puts it out there hoping to convince someone.

Looking into it, I've found that it's reportedly become a Russian ploy.....
#WalkAway has also now been connected to Kremlin-linked Russian bots, and it is now the seventh most popular Russia-influenced hashtag as of this writing (July 17), according to the website Hamilton 68, which tracks Russian influence on Twitter as part of the Alliance for Securing Democracy, an initiative of the nonpartisan German Marshall Fund. The purpose of this now-astroturf campaign is to manipulate public opinion by creating the illusion that this is a popular movement. In reality, #WalkAway has become pure propaganda, a psychological operation.

Just one more time Bob is spreading Russian propaganda.

I've implemented a rudimentary CAPTCHA on the video submission page for probies and am also working on implementing a more sophisticated solution (specifically Recaptcha).

Still, I feel it's more likely human spammers who are spoofing their IPs rather than bots, but maybe it'll help!

It might be time for captcha, since these seem to be bot posts. At least at sign up if not for all probationary level posters.
This business is getting out of control.

Yeah I've helped ban about a dozen of these over the past few days.

If it's not bots it'll be a bunch of people in the same location being paid pennies to spam these videos everywhere.

Lol....yeah, you get your news from Twitter, Facebook, and Trump himself and I'm the one who buys the lies. No surprise you and the walk away people won't admit it, you've never admitted to being duped even though it's a daily occurrence. Funny they didn't disavow these memes until well after they were debunked, and they still claim the spread through conservative media is somehow proof of a mass exodus from the Democrats, even though every example they have is either stock photos or well known long term conservative activists and most retweets are Russian bots.

BTW, not from MSM......https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/walkaway-campaign-stock-photos/

You're doing the Russian's work for them, trying to hand America to Putin. I expect you to respond "that's better than a liberal".

Edit: The funniest part here is there is a huge walk away movement happening....lifelong Republicans walking away from the Republican party because some are intelligent enough to see it's been co opted by unpatriotic morons who seem intent on dissolving our system of government and international standing in favor of Russia, who they still remember is our enemy, not NATO.
Oops, looks like you bought more Russian lies.....Again.
