I finally figured out how to identify bots and can share why they will never be able to pass themselves off as gamers.

They are always positive.

I have never seen a negative reply from a bot... have you?

You will never see a bot post: GW really dropped the ball on this edition, my army is unplayable!

You're in a desert, walking along when you look down and see a tortoise. It's crawling toward you. You reach down and flip it over on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over. But it can't. Not with out your help. But you're not helping. Why is that?

Why do I feel like Edward James Olmos is following me all of a sudden?

Ooh look! An Origami unicorn!

They are just "robots in disguise".

What's a tortoise?

You know what a turtle is? Same thing.

Always positive? I might be safe from being misidentified as a bot since I do have some criticism to share, but the description of always positive is hilariously close to how many people describe me in real life and on various forums.

I guess my 40k writings is what would save me in a troika court of suspected bots: Such darkly ironic essays gunning hard for grimdark depravity and ludicrous decay may be interpreted as something else than positive, although my state of mind while writing them is all jolly and positive to boot.

Hmmm...

That sounds like something a bot would say.
