WSO has a bot problem

Even ignoring the obvious 20+ spam posts for some African voodoo, there's been a weird thing happening to me for some time. Almost anytime I post a comment or thread, I get 1 or 2 silver bananas instantly, like within a minute, sometimes even a second.

Anyone else experience this? Is WSO doing anything? Not that I mind free bananas.

I had a similiar glitch type thing in the past with a different account. It like counted every banana as double or something like that. I don’t have access to the account nor remember it by now I don’t think so not sure what to tell you. Just thought you may appreciate that info. But maybe you do just have people who follow you and instantly banana your stuff. Idk. Good luck 

 

I just figured folks were finally waking up to my wisdom and tossing 4-5 bananas a minute. c’est la vie

I think Patrick said recently that for certain users and certified users there is an auto banana algorithm for certain posts.
