Do you know you can use a web bot in forums to 'sniff out' key words and make it do stuff?
We all know about the auto swear word censors... BUT you can use it to filter out key words.
'some' sites use it in PM's to delete certain undesirable content... like a link to a competitors website..
also I know one place that every time you use a key word, a banner appears below your post linking you to a promo thread on that topic
three I have identified is 'FOIA', '911' and '9/11' and a set 'Obama,McCain,Elections...
Very interesting use og web bots
Makes you ask..
Just what else are they seeking?
