What I see is that the bot was badly programmed and it did not ignore quoted text, so the first automated report triggered another bot response which quoted the swear word which triggered the bot a third time.
- dave_universetf 2y agoThey are/were scanning random public projects and creating unsolicited bugs in those projects to chide them about profanity in their source code. The linked thread is just a bunch of the victims of that spam having some fun with the format.
- jcarrano 2y agoThanks for clarifying, I was puzzled.
- hext 2y agoThe first comment in the thread is a victim of ScanOSS's spam mocking them by opening an issue in their repo following the same format as their bot.
- vegadw 2y agoExactly. When I made that comment I never thought It'd go this for or that the CTO of a ScanOSS would be this dense, so the opening of the thread is admittedly a bit confusing. I still had the email from the bot's original issue being opened, so I thought I'd point out their hypocrisy.
- hext 2y agoPretty funny thread, thanks for sharing. No idea what they are thinking...
