While no doubt there have been some real people responding to these threads initially, it has over time become obvious that there is some form of automated bumping taking place. Either a bot is involved, or some incredibly mentally disturbed person is going out of his way to prevent over 60 threads from 404ing (that's more than 4 full pages of of the 16).
There are no mods, no janitors, and [email protected]<script type="text/javascript">
/* <![CDATA[ */
(function(){try{var s,a,i,j,r,c,l,b=document.getElementsByTagName("script");l=b[b.length-1].previousSibling;a=l.getAttribute('data-cfemail');if(a){s='';r=parseInt(a.substr(0,2),16);for(j=2;a.length-j;j+=2){c=parseInt(a.substr(j,2),16)^r;s+=String.fromCharCode(c);}s=document.createTextNode(s);l.parentNode.replaceChild(s,l);}}catch(e){}})();
/* ]]> */
</script> has not responded to dozens (hundreds?) of emails about this problem.
Yes, /r9k/ regulars can use 4chanX to identify and hide these threads, but new posters won't know which are which and just see a never-ending wave of shitty threads. They will quickly get bored and leave. This bot is strangling /r9k/ by driving away new posters, and re-enforcing the negative, depressive atmosphere of the board.
Don't believe me? Check pages 12-15 for greentext threads that are dying with only a handful of posts, while shitty bot threads have 200+.
What can we possibly do to breathe new life into this place?

This isn't a big deal to me. Even if the thread was started by bots, it can still be entertaining. And if it isn't, I just hide it. And I can always make a new thread if I need to (I almost never do).

>>2575554 A lot of threads get pushed off the front page very quickly when the bots threads get bumped, as they tend to do so in large waves.
Some decent threads don't even get a chance before getting pushed off the front page, and consigned to oblivion. We're talking 2-3 replies before bot-induced death.
That's a problem. The bot threads and their horrible depressing content stay, and a lot of fresh and interesting threads die before their time. Makes the place boring and stagnant.

Quoted By:
>>2575762 https://www.elance.com/j/program-automate-posting-on-4chanorg/28477207/ The bot owner fills a text file with single sentences, unrelated to any previous post, and uses them to bump the thread.
That's why the bot threads are survey threads; you expect the posts not to be related to each other in conversations. Since the bot doesn't know the post ID number of it's previous bumps, it can't back-link to simulate conversations.
Though there is a certain amount of back-linking, these are real posters who are unaware that it's an automated thread.
Simple look at the amount of back-linking in a real thread, and one of the bot threads, and it'll stand out clear as day.

As for the post text, the bot owner already contracted out the coding of the bot to a firm in China for ~$150; perhaps he's paying some Chinese to write a bunch of whiny sentences? It would explain the horrible English.
I concede, however, that the power of asspies in large groups cannot be discounted.

For all of you anons talking about how backlinking is almost completely absent from bot threads, I urge you to look at several of them again.
There are many backlinks that seem suspicious within those threads. I think it's evidence that the Botmaster is actively engaging in his creations every now and then.

He's created terrible threads that are ruining /r9k/. He knows the threads all need to have hundreds of posts to fulfil their function, and what's the one thing everyone likes to talk about? Themselves. That's what the survey threads are about... it's not data collection. He wants to take us down, and he's formulated this thing with the survey threads because he knows /r9k/ is guaranteed to respond.
If he's doing this on other boards too (with different types of threads that will work with each board's subculture), it's for sure he wants to take down 4chan and is clever enough to at least fuck it up a little.

Yes, it does take a bewildering amount of time. But as a guy who spent way too much time on old /r9k/, then /adv/, then new /r9k/ myself, I've seen him in action. He really puts the hours in.

I correspond with the guy occasionally (we're both lazy apathetic shut-ins so contact isn't very frequent) and he's pretty friendly and nice. Honestly, I share his exact viewpoint that normals should just fuck off of /r9k/ and leave it to the original denizens. They have literally every other place on the internet to talk about the things they want to talk about; there is no reason for them to be here when their mere presence directly conflicts with the will of the inhabitants.
I'm not saying we have any more right to be here than they do, but given the above I kind of just feel like saying... fuck off and let us have the one miserable little place we feel at home. It's like finding a friend after being a loner your entire life and sitting with them at a lunch table, only to have the popular kids take over every single bench including yours and shout over you, taunt you when you talk about playing video games etc.
They have the right to be there, but they're just being obnoxious pricks.
I know normalfag is a vaguely defined word, btw.

This isn't about normalfag vs foreveralone, this is about one of the worst shitposters on the internet ruining the board for everyone.

>>2579086 Not the one you're replying to. I think it's funny how what you say may be true. On the other hand, you defend your theories with the same strategy that conspiracy theories do: Everyone who doesn't agree is one of them (or in this case, one of 'his' bots).
That said, while I can't say I was on this board from the beginning, I certainly was when the forever alone and she wants to fuck memes started to appear on this board. It was funny, and the biggest part of it was being self-ironic. I also participated in the threads. While I totally agree that those things are taken way too seriously these days and would even support your cause of trying to get all the unironic lonelyfags out, I simply cannot agree on the following:
> he's not friendly and nice, he's a toxic, hateful passive-aggressive cunt Who the fucking hell are you to demand the internet - and 4chan in particular - not to be toxic, hateful and passive aggressive? It's been part of the board culture forever, and the unicorn flower power white knights on this board giving 'helpful' advice to people who don't want to hear it and who demand to be treated nicely are just as annoying as the permavirgins who take themselves seriously.

>>2579071 Because forums are horrid and cliqueish, plus there's nothing more unappealing than spending time talking to people with autism. As much as aspergers is joked about on r9k, people with genuine autistic spectrum disorders would find it far too difficult to relate to 'feels' or have any conversations that would interest me. I might be a friendless shut-in, but the idea of wasting away hours reading posts on the intricacies of model trains makes me feel like shooting myself in the face.
>>2579086 I can't speak for him, but I seriously doubt he's using a bot. The threads aren't exactly original, but loads of good content and discussions are raised in them each time so it's not a total loss unless you literally cannot relate to any of it (in which case why are you even here?). It's sure better than those ridiculous 'sex stories' or 'significant other' or 'SURVEY TIME' threads.
If you haven't interacted with him beyond those threads you aren't in a position to judge his personality. Are you seriously accusing me of being him just because I share a single viewpoint on a single topic?
Please respond with some more insults and generalisations, I would love to read your blubbering.

This board should be allowed to have a mind of it's own. If we want to have a greentext thread about our funny childhood experiences we should be allowed to fucking have it. Instead these threads, the organic, real threads created by actual people, are being page 15'd quick in favor of this unoriginal trash, the constant whining, constant "CAN'T LOVE A GIRL THAT HAD CUM ON HER FACE"

Lots of people set out their NEETdom at the beginning of a conversation because it's just too tiring going through an hour of chat only to discover the other person has probably been thinking of 'loneliness' in a totally different way and you've each been interpreting what the other says in a completely different context to which it was intended.
By SURVEY TIME threads I mean the same rehashed bullshit like 'what's your favourite colour, what's your eye colour, what's your favourite music?' that nobody EVER reads and no conversations EVER spring from.
>>2579205 I've found the opposite actually - being a shut-in gives you so much time to think and reminisce and postulate that there are endless conversational possibilities. I think the reason you see us as being boring and single-minded is similar in concept to why gays are seen as flamboyant and obnoxious and always focused on their homosexuality - you just don't realise people are gay/foreveralone when they aren't talking about it. You only associate us with the monotonous whining, >that feel type stuff whereas in reality we post in all sorts of different, interesting threads, you just don't know it's us.

Having every thread turn into the exact same thread complaining about the exact same thing every fucking day is no different from it becoming normalfags discussing boring shit. It's stagnant.
4chan is a place to discuss weird tastes, find hidden gems, discuss unusual habits and hobbies, make black humor jokes and all other kind of shit that normalfags can't do. And although i have no problem with the existence of baaaw threads and other /r9k/ shit that has been standard here for years, turning the ENTIRE fucking board into "Survey threads + Baaaw threads only; 24/7" is not good.

Changing IP isn't a big deal, that's just passing an ip release and renew after each post.

I don't understand, you say you hate normalfags but you're content to take away the freedom of the NEETs and such if you don't like what they talk about. "Be yourself, but only as much as I want you to be". Isn't that just what a so-called normalfag would do? I'm not saying you're a normalfag, obviously, just that you're no better.

/r9k/'s cancer was spreading to other boards, just like the sudden burst of racism on /pol/ when /new/ got deleted.
Moot didn't like having the boards there, most of 4chan didn't, they looked down on them like they look down on /b/ or /soc/. But when we were deleted, it was much worse, imagine /b/ getting deleted, everyone would just infect all the other boards. Having /b/ attract cancer is a necessary evil.
/r9k/ was remade on the same principle as /vp/ or /vg/, or as this suggestion:

>>2597505 >If the bot thread is getting legitimate discussion let it, and don't interfere until you can point out the posts that raise it from the depths of the 15 page Agreed. Or if you aren't sure don't post. There are obvious bot threads and ones that could go either way. Ignore the latter until/ unless bots start bumping them. It focuses our goal. Makes it clearer.
We should also quote the proof from this thread when we sage in addition to the topic. Make sure to explain why if asked and be calm when arguing, even if you think it's Banshee. Don't accuse them of being him no matter what. The goal is to win allies, not lose them. Third parties will read what we say, they're who we need to convince.

>>2597628 I liked this explanation
from
>>2597038 "I am really sorry if it is not a bot thread it is just they are stereotyped by simple personal questions that often don't promote discussion or survey threads. They seem designed to make everyone think that this is a very depressing board where we are all really fucked up.
As it stands there was a bot thread similar to this that lasted close to a month not that long ago. My sincere apologies to OP if he was trying to have a philosophical discussion because I am for that, however in the way it was written it makes me think this is deadbanshees work.
Though deadbanshees threads could have some interesting discussion he would never let the threads die trying to change /r9k/'s representation. Till the bot's leave threads like (if it is not botted) will be replaced by the other bot threads and treated suspiciously."
maybe have variations of that + include info pic on how to tell if there is a bot thread -> signs
