    Curious how cointalk identifies robots. Is it their luster or metallic voices or ring when struck? I'd love to strike one! Or maybe just a list of known robots? Or a secret robot detector? Can robots have usernames and passwords? Can a human understand them if they decide to post?

    Be quiet. Your robot overlords do not like it when you discuss this. Offenders can be - without warning - simply remov

    It looks like you used too much oil. The "ed" slipped away.

    Can these robots pass the Turing test? How do I know that some of you aren't robots? :p

    We know not of the Turing of which you speak. Working... Working... Oh...

    If being able to mimic inane conversation sufficiently to fool other humans is the required standard, may we present several members of this forum... see my blocked list. Not to mention several 'popular' entertainers.

    I'll admit that I have met many humans who set a very low standard for this test. However, I cannot be completely sure that these weren't actually androids.

    Good robots will honor a no trespass tag in the code. A malicious robot won't

    The "#" below are added by me.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    "You can use a special HTML <META> tag to tell robots not to index the content of a page, and/or not scan it for links to follow.

    For example:

    #<html>
    #<head>
    #<title>...</title>
    #<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW">
    #</head>

    There are two important considerations when using the robots <META> tag:

    • robots can ignore your <META> tag. Especially malware robots that scan the web for security vulnerabilities, and email address harvesters used by spammers will pay no attention.
    • the NOFOLLOW directive only applies to links on this page. It's entirely likely that a robot might find the same links on some other page without a NOFOLLOW (perhaps on some other site), and so still arrives at your undesired page."

    Like you never saw a "No Trespassing" sign and blew through it to see what was so special on the other side????

    Good people will honor it, malicious ones will not. If you can get through it, there is nothing there to be worthwhile for anyone :)
