I don't quite understand how Grovelbot works

[Oeditpus Rex]

Is he really a bot who pops his bot ass into random threads in bot-like fashion, or does some deliciously twisted admin work him? :shrug:

1. Are you suggesting...

Grovelbot is a sock puppet? :o






Personally I think you're right ;)

2. Titanium socks?

Ew. x(

4. He just hijacked your avatar

That cheeky metal monkey.

3. I was wondering too.

What fun if an admin gets to pull the strings!

5. He doesn't work.

He's been reduced to begging.

6. Hmm ...

8. Oh, great

He's capable of personalized groveling. :eyes:





Now, knock it off!

7. I think he is automatic.

He showed up in the middle of a thread by Bobbolink, where Bobbolink was talking about not having enough money to pay for a doctor to treat his/her? pneumonia, to ask for a donation.

If it wasn't automatic, then it was pretty crass.

9. It is usually post #33 in a thread..

Sometimes #31 or #32.. But usually #33. So it is a script. Or someone has incredible timing and too much free time.

10. Robots work with gears, motors, electrodes and the like.

11. In fairness, there are worse robots than Grovelbot.
