Pluto's weather is more active than we thought

With each batch of images that rolls in from New Horizons, scientists learn more about Pluto's characteristics.

What a hive of villainy that poster operates, eh.

What's the harm? Spam scientific fact all day long as far as I care.

We suspect him of nefarious intent.

You will notice, though, that we've not revoked his site membership.

Her's using a bot, to start with. If you Google

"each batch of images that rolls in from New Horizons" "inetryconydot"

you'll find 478 hits and rising. This is not the behaviour of a benign seeker after truth.

I see no harm in spreading truth though, via bot or any other method. By your definition, school books are spam. Well, many actually are, but you get my point.

As I say, the account's not banned. All I've done is flagged up the background. Normally I'd do it in Moderator Space but this time was potentially amusing.

I understand. I just think the technology is made positive when used this way.

ForumGarden welcomes careful Artificial Intelligence systems, but distinguishes these from muckspreaders.

Why not take the same approach to human bots? They have "rights"? They have potential?

Well, it has yet to actually offer up anything unique or of any true scientific value. A mere repeat of a statement of observation which was recently posted as a headline in a popular science-oriented rag.

Never thought you to be a champion of SPAM.
