This seems like the right place to ask this question:
I know a "bot" is like a spider which looks for comment submissions and then essentially drops in a canned message on a discussion thread. Given the layers to post here, are there actually programs sophisticated enough to auto post new threads and/or comments? Or is a "bot" actually just a nickname for some leftie sitting in a cube farm at CTR getting 13.50/hr? Fill me in...
Bot as in robot. A program that you configure a few things on like name and password and target, load with bullshit, and it goes on its own as your little info warrior. You could run countless bots at the same time and flood the site with your point of view.
