When I started reading Myth’s posts from yesterday, I clicked “view replies” on each of them, and a message came up for each: “comment deleted.” That is why I thought Myth was a mod and deleting any replies to It. Others said the comments deleted were Myth’s but why would It be replying to Itself? Not that it matters now, but it adds to the Troll-Factor.
I could tell mrsmith was being deleted because people were replying to mrsmith and the comment numbers being replied to matched the deleted comments. They were also quoting parts of the replies.
I saw that Myth posted on some other threads today, so not suspended. I don’t know anything about bots.
