Is the webhamster a machine or a real poster

[EatMyShorts092]

he has 616 posts at last count so is it just a guy that wastes his time looking through all the posts or is it a machine? Hes barely been around and hes beating me in posts and i dont like it.

He's on the Memberlist, so I think he's a real poster, but I don't know that for sure. All his posts that I have seen have said the same thing. Do not feed the Webhamster, post in the correct forum, etc. So I couldn't tell you for sure.

a member on the forum does it.

It's a robot, but a thinking robot. He can make complex decisions on his own using an advanced artificial intellgence processor. So far, he's only used to lock posts in the wrong forum. Soon, he will be given more freedom to police the board.

I give him 2 months until he becomes self-aware and tries to destroy all the other posters on this board.

I agree, it is a machine! And the time will come when he will rule all of you! Repent you Fantasy Football Sinners! Your time is near!

How would that work? I assume it would key on certain words, like - Wrong Forum - and the like.

It's just a member(s) who polices the board with WH as an alias.

As a programmer myself, I can tell you how obscenely hard it is to create a web agent (i.e., what web-hamster would be if it were a program) that does even mundane tasks. If this site had the brilliance to create something that understood what posts belong in which forum... WOW.

btw, isn't this an off-topic post?
