Sorry if this has been asked a lot! Is pointing out a chat bot the same as trolling?

[HowDoYouMakeAHormone]

because when they are obvious in AIBU.

i would like to think we wouldn't be banned for alerting people to the fake posts but, we already are so.......?

I think they do keep an eye on trending threads.

But these threads are still there in active.

can you give us an eg?

Have you reported them @senua?

I know that that was their past model when individuals were trolling or whatever

AFAIK it's not a past model, it's still how it works.

Have you reported them @senua?
Depends on my mood. If I'm feeling grumpy, I tend not to do their job for them.

I've noticed the bullet points and indents. Thought it was just weird MN formatting.

8.5 out of ten there. You forgot the final "call to arms" : "Do you think we should report them?" or "Do you think this is a a problematic issue?"

Good Morning (BST London) Users of Mumsnet.

Thank you for bringing this to our collective attention. As moderators of the mums' net website, we would always encourage you to make use of the report button to tell us about this sort of incident. Flagging it up on a thread runs the risk of it being a real troll rather than a bot troll and giving the troll the attention they crave. If you report it to us instead we can deal with it quickly.

Many thanks.
The Moderators of Mumsnet Headquarters.

But as we've all pointed out, it is a reactive rather than proactive modding style here. If we don't report MN don't necessarily see theposts
