Which rule was broken on this thread to get it pulled? He/It seemed to be playing along nicely, so why the blackout?

My opinion is not to embrace any bot. I already worry for my young daughter as many jobs can be taken by automation of many jobs...all very clever but we could have a huge and devastating revolution if most jobs become automated....we have been here before and humans survived but with a lot of pain along the way.

Probably pulled because some people just can't seem to let it go.

They said the same about automation through computers, robots in factories.

What is the unemployment level today? A 42 year low.

Explanation would be good. Didn't see anything wrong in the thread. Maybe it is PH's own little pet.

More inane dribble posted across various threads today.

If it's not a bot being engineered by a 3rd party, as suggested on the now deleted thread, I'm of the opinion it's either 1) a returning / banned poster taking the piss 2) a duplicate account for a current poster on here having a laugh, or 3) a HM employee on the windup as payback for how many of us complain in this website feedback section about the adverts, poor dev testing, etc laugh

Out of interest, I wonder how long this thread will last before it's locked / deleted?

Every thread that has raised questions over SB has been binned so far.

I'm not questioning SantaBarbara, I'm making a statement.

It's a bot.

Definitely a bot.

Annoying when threads get deleted and not just locked with an explanation.

And how come when Barbara deletes something that it has said, the full msg goes? Not just the usual : "Barbara deleted this msg at **.**" Is a mod manually removing at its request?
There is no message to say a post has been deleted, unless it is the first (originating) post on a thread.

Try it. smile

it is indeed - prompt quote is the enemy of deletion (when you have people doing edits and deletions)
