This is spam. I've found the EXACT article in several other sites:

social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/47/index/14469858/1

I'm not sure if they (including this one) are all the same person. An excellent and well-written article, but the forums are not for advertising.

EDIT: I'm almost certain it's the same person. Most of my searches are finding the same alias: fannychy. Some of the results show that this person has been banned in some forums, most likely for spamming. And a note, some of the forums I've found them on has absolutely nothing to do with computers. I found this post in a forum for gun owners. Strange place to talk about screenshots, huh?

Thanke Luna. Banned and deleted.

I visited the oktron army and first thing i saw

Que?

These aren't one person -- it's a bot.

Companies use bots to promote and advertise products in a "spiderweb" fashion. The poster here must have been an advanced bot -- because it got past CAPTCHA. Which isn't too hard. But you'll either have to shell out more cash/design your own analysis scripts to get that accomplished.

Good thing most bots are crap.

Remember the Nike bots?

We have CAPTCHA?

Don't you fill out a CAPTCHA before you post?

I know mods/admins don't have to, but I thought regular members did.

Not unless someone made me a mod when I wasn't looking.

Maybe when you sign up? Been a while since I did that, I don't remember.

Yeah, that could be it. I know for a fact someone messaged me about the CAPTCHA system here. Perhaps it is indeed when you sign up.

Yeah, you only fill one of those out when you first sign up. That's the only time I remember doing that here.

CAPTCHA can be solved by bots? I can barely read those things half the time.

Yeah, it's rather easy too.

I mean -- the entire CAPTCHA system wasn't made to be a pain. It's actually a way of transcribing books and illegible documents. You see, we have masses of print archives. We run these archives through computers which scan and transcribe everything digitally. However, there are many words that are skewed & illegible to a computer's scanner. It takes a human to decode it.

This is what CAPTCHA is. CAPTCHA provides one word (that it knows the answer to) which you must get correct. The second word is something that needs to be read by human eyes -- that way they can piece it in with the rest of the document. It's practically free labor. Websites keep the site bot free -- archives get loaded up with information and decoded.

Try it yourself. Next time you're in CAPTCHA -- try finding the word that is easy to read. This is the "puzzle" word. The word that you must get correct -- otherwise, the entire thing is wrong. Now find the second harder to read word. This is the transcribe word. You can literally type anything you want here (reasonably) and it'll still accept your CAPTCHA answer.


And that kids is how it works.

Hmm... I knew that it was a way of decoding old books, but I'd never thought of how many times I could use it to put my name in books...
