    Does... Krita actually need bots inserting themselves on message boards to advertise? It's a good program, it doesn't make sense.

    Why dont you tell us about your current project and we can see if MalSabreur did it differently ?

    Doubt it's anything to do with Krita. Some spammer bot picked a post from the Software section and copied it word-for-word to make themself sound legit. It just happened to be about Krita, but could have been anything. We've had comments in moderation from time to time for long dead threads. The comment will sound legit, but sometimes I get curious and take a deeper look... and they've just copied something from a few posts further up the thread. I presume they're trying to establish a legitimate profile so that, once they're over the five post threshold, they can unleash the spam.

    Ah, I see. That makes a lot more sense. Well, not 'sense' exactly since spam and it's purveyors are senseless, but it logically follows.
