What do this bots do? Are they the one to blame for the massive reports on bounties? I really hate those reports they flood important announcements and statements in the thread.
I think you're talking about the Twitter reports. I wouldn't be shocked if some of those are bots -- at least the Twitter accounts, since Twitter is known to have a bot issue. Basically, what's happening is that blog accounts are being created through an automated process -- the URL often will have numbers associated with these accounts, as a tell-tale -- and the multi-account abuser uses article spinners or other software to crank out dozens and dozens of blogs in a single bounty campaign, stealing stakes from everyone (even those not blogging). Also, many of the new accounts at BCT are bots -- fake accounts to build up stakes with signature campaigns and the proof-of-authentication.
