Step 2: The Ghost Network
IP bans? Please. You think a static IP is going to stop me? I use a rotating layer of cheap proxy IPs that cost less than your morning coffee beans. Every time you ban one, ten more are already sitting in your lobby, looking perfectly legitimate.
I don't think anybody minds IP bans tbh, even the non-techy folks. IP blocks are just lowest rung of, 'blocks'.
Step 3: The Infinite Subscription Trick
You guys pay for your AI tools every month like good little citizens. Me? I treat AI subscriptions like a buffet. Every time a subscription limit hits, my main AI just create new account, grab the "new user" discount, and keep the intelligence flowing. It’s basically a steal at this point.
Instead of doing gymnastics of various kind to avail, 'free' stuff, it's better to pay for convenience. Trust me, I have been on both sides and I prefer latter.
Step 4: The "Human" Touch
Standard bot spam is easy to catch because it’s... well, robotic. I use these incredibly cheap "Humanizer" APIs that add just enough "slight error" and "slang" to make my accounts look more human than the actual users here. My bots aren't just posting; they’re "conversing". They have personalities! You wouldn't dare ban a personality, can you?
I have read some posts in, 'Report AI generated posts' (no link cause this thread ain't worth that bit of bother — plus, in all likelihood this will get deleted which makes me demotivated further) — where users managed to find humanized AI content. Yes, humanized content might seep through, but eventually it will be caught.
