Responding to them with something like "thanks, i'm glad you like it" is obviously foolish. The problem is that not all spam comments are easily identified as such, and sometimes people mistake them for genuine human interaction.
Any thoughts about this issue? How do you deal with these spam-bots?
Stakeout Punch's advice is right.
If push comes to shove, and you're suspecting spam bots/comments etc. then one of the safest routes, would be,
to best only reply to people you know, or are familiar with. Well for a good while at least.
If anyone there on soundcloud, who you're unfamiliar with, is commenting or sounding like a robot, just ignore them.
PS: Also, ever since these bots started mysteriously appearing, I noticed that soundcloud has been giving alot of strange problems.
Just recently in my case, anytime I log in, the menu bar with options, where the profile avatar pic is located, at the top of the screen disappears.
So I can't even read any messages or go into options, or log out etc.
