        @metaltao The ones that have been constantly popping up and posting a single notice to get their profiles visible from the front page

          @redenchilada ... I don't see them but I do see that people are not posting a lot, are these bots the reason for this?

            @metaltao Nah, they just show up. Seem to be popping up more than usual as of late, though. Can't remember the last time I've deleted one this many days in a row.

                @metaltao Of course we delete them. Don't want them boosting their page ranks using our site. Spambots tend to pop up every now and then, though. They're still a lot less common than they used to be, though, since we've made a lot of changes to the registration process to deter them.
