    Social Bots on Calguns

    Are there social bots running on Calguns? I have encountered them on other sports related forums and can always tell when there are almost immediate responses to a post that presents a conservative viewpoint on a political or social issue. With the wide range of opinions and the number of trolls, I wondered if any of them are automated

    In an emergency, always dial 1911.

      There are no bots like that for this ancient version of Vbulletin. It's like 20 years old.

          When I read the replies here, it does not feel like a bot
          Rule 1- ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED

          Rule 2 -NEVER LET THE MUZZLE COVER ANYTHING YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO DESTROY (including your hands and legs)

          Rule 3 -KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET

          Rule 4 -BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND WHAT IS BEYOND IT

              I have blocked a bunch of folks

              Any new member selling someone $100 over retail in a panic time gets blocked

              Eg- almost new Glock 19 Gen 3 for $640-$850


              People who start parody threads

              Etc
              Rule 1- ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED

                  I was thinking about blocking YSR_racer also.

                          No, I'm sure this forums admins are great at filtering out bots just like Twitter.

                              Think I found a bot, and he is above this box.

                                      That's funny, my original question was going to be to as if YSR was a bot! But, a bot would probably use a better looking guy for his photos.

                                          YSR is more of a troll than anything else...Caligula on the other hand......

(Those owned by government should be inventoried and tracked, for exactly the same reasons computers and desks and chairs are tracked: responsible care of public property.)

                                                  If some level of government had that information, what would they do with it? How would having that info benefit public safety? How would it benefit law enforcement?

                                                      I know some people here probably think I'm a Russian bot but I swear, that's not me!
