Dealt with.

This one has come to Minichan before. TTEH mentioned that he found it operating on lots of other websites too.

Daily TC and other chan like sites and there are many that call themselves something else but operate just like a Chan, have been fighting off the Bots. Very cleaver and I only recently learned that the Bot is AI enough to quickly spot a reply to it's Topic and it has a canned reply instantly back at you. I even made a mistake and replied last night.

Couldn't you have just locked the topics? What if they were the greatest minichan topics of all time?

It's also a bandwidth eating type of AI.
After the Bot drops off it's package (New Topic)

It systematically browses MC for example, looking for a reply to the spam package it deposited. Uses Web crawling/spidering software, to update their web content. Does nothing until some sucker comes along (as I did) and on the next crawl it sees the reply and deposits a reply to me, that is specific to content in my reply. If I were to put up a Spam image, it even comes back with replies to justify the Spam.
There is money behind that operation.
