As many of you know as I started my Christmas holiday last night and employed a new app called PostBot to fulfill my commitment and obligations as a productive and engaged member of FR while taking much needed time off. After running it for approximately 24 hours I can report the following.
1. The app kept track of what it perceived were negative replies to those it determined were positive. The ratio was approximately 20:1 positive.
2. It compiled lists from the negative responses as to belligerent (9), thin-skinned (18), irrational (6), nasty (11) and self-righteous/sanctimonious (22). A total of 76 posters were identified as ‘posting pests’ (an arbitrary classification) when the non-classifieds were counted and crossovers were factored in.
3. The app (remember this was a beta version) needs further development as it started to drift into foreign languages and started to unintentionally insult posters in some of those languages.
4. The app was amazingly effective at returning proportional ‘snark’ for any it detected in a reply.
While the developers are satisfied with its initial use it will require considerable further testing.
I’m still analyzing the data the app has provided and may have more to report at a later time.
I want to thank all of you who participated in this trial.
Thanks for not excerpting.
What is your purpose?
We thought you were ‘away’...
I was but decided to see how things were going with the trial run.
Nice work!
LOL
I made a supportive comment and your bot interpreted it as hostile. Said I smelled like a Russian whore. Clearly it needs some work.
A dead Russian whore.
I think it was a ‘dead’ Russian whore to be accurate.
Beat you to it.
ROTFL!!!
LOL! Merry Christmas, Humble!
Postbot Trial...
Thinking it was a male “Love Doll”
Would LAZ vote “Guilty?”
Well...
I’m happy to help with the beta testing.
For every 1 reply there are at least 20 that read the relevant post but did not post a reply.
How does that saying go.....
If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all
Perhaps your algorithm needs some tweaking.

That old saw doesn’t seem to apply to Freepers.
Did it track posts/responses here on FR?
Affirmative.
It should be obvious.
