User same obviously created by a random name generator. when you have two names jammed together it is usually the first indicator.
Usually have some weird car type and location. Not that there are no BMW drivers in Amsterdam but it just looks like they threw whatever in the spaces just to answer the questions.
A post that is only vaguely related to the thread, says "Hello", "Me too" or something else short and meaningless. In this case the post is complete gibberish to the thread topic. We varied enough that the algorithm could not figure out the main theme.
As far as I remember, of the hundreds of bot posts I have reported or called out, I have received a reply one time by somebody saying they were not a bot and then a week later they edited a spam link into all their posts!
