I think we have a bot on our hands

Having trouble with LMMS? Ask about it here.
The user Maxdenton (https://lmms.io/forum/memberlist.php?mo ... ile&u=5053) copied my Reddit post about LMMS strings for some reason and pasted it into Production Help.

Comparison between the two:

Maxdenton: https://lmms.io/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=28713

My Reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/lmms/comments/ ... from_song/

This is so strange. Why would someone do this to me? I have a feeling that this is some bot or something patrolling both Reddit and this forum.
You're right. Here you can see how this topic is a mix of discussions, like the drop of ACYDE track and sapm of vlc and ccleaner

Hum, maxdenton has been registered since August 31, 2018 and has only written one message (the one you mention).

Strangely, the links in his signature are not related to the music.

It's quite painful to see that I sometimes respond to bots or something like that.
This one contains strange links:

Invasion of bots?
Those links are weird yes.

I compared them to the links, I get when I google I tunes and acrobat reader.

Really different, not even close. I did of course not try to download anything. I am not that brave. (on Linux )
Again:
If you believe some mischiefs are going, the only correct action is to press the report button!
A special service officer will deal with it :)
Don't worry guys. It's being looked into. :geek:
If you find anymore, keep sending reports. :)
I have the impression that there are many false accounts in recent days.

They are all similar:
- often off-topic content
- presence of links to third party sites generally unrelated to music

One of these accounts contained a link to a Soundcloud account. I contacted the person on Soundcloud and asked him if he had written on the forum. He told me no (then he reported this here on the forum).

Strange.
Yeah, I've been noticing that for a while too.

I myself a while ago, contacted one of the soundcloud musicians, who goes by
the name Lenoquo and asked him, if he joined and posted on this forum.
This is the soundcloud tune, that I posted on.

I'll check back on soundcloud, to see what he says. Hopefully, he responds. :)
