I do not believe that Shila is a bot. I agree with the muting for toxicity only.

So there were a couple wikipedia accounts that were active 24/7. (1) They were propaganda accounts for governments. What they did was, they had a person on Wikipedia 24/7 who would edit things to be pro-country of origin. Multiple people took shifts to accomplish this. I think it is significantly more probable that Shila is simply a collective of users who have nothing better to do than shitpost on DART.

As to why she never responded to messages, it took me days of searching on my mobile phone layout to find where the friend request and messaging options are. So if we assume these people are like me and are taking shifts mostly on their mobile phones, it makes sense how they couldn't have found it. The mobile layout is clunky and I am thankful it is getting fixed.

BUT, this doesn't mean that skynet and such do not exist. I personally believe one user on here is a bot, but I am not sure. And, no, it isn't Oromagi.

I mean, after all Best.Korea I am pretty sure is a North Korean propagandist who is actually working for the North Korean government.

So if North Korea cared enough to join, then why wouldn't other countries?

Dear Public Choice, 

You wrote:

I see people here have a tactic to make false claims, then expect others to disprove them!

I understand you think that:
"supports North Korea = works for  North Korean government".

But thats the problem with US citizens. They are ready to believe anything that justifies their world view. 

This is why you will never be able to elect a good president. 

I know you will continue with your delusions.
My explanation was not meant to educate you in any way, but merely to mock you and your country.

Do you support the censorship?
I haven't followed Shila's posts enough to make a decision.

I wonder if Lemming may be right and Shila could be a chatbot part of the time, and post human comments other parts of the time. Or be intentionally acting like a bot.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a part time bot/part time real person.

Which part of Shila is a bot that you would like to see and touch to confirm it is not?

I will need to get permission to post a picture of my hymen to both prove  I am not a bot and that I am a virgin.

And equally, I could post a picture to prove that I’m a penguin.

Why, you didn’t get banned for being a penguin. Why do you need to prove it?

If nuts is what you are looking for, you won’t find any on Shila.

Best.Korea,

When you actually learn the difference between a fact and a statement from a genocidal dictator, I will respect your opinion and that of North Koreans working for their government.

Why do we care especially so much about whether Shila is a bot or not? At least the user(or at the least of the least, the profile program) dispenses interesting information(which I partially resonate with) that is unorthodox in content yet orthodox in structure(in the way that we can indeed understand enough to grow irritated by it). If we keep removing outliers, what we eventually get is a quasi-echo-chamber in which everyone talks in ways everyone else know and can predict.

Cut Shila some slack. How about we take action once Shila displays text clearly bot-like or just ban Shila once enough insults(etc) are being passed through that even a human with such behavior will be reprimanded.

Or how about prove this to me, why is bot-esque behavior harmful to the site? I remember myself talking like that years ago and none of you guys batted an eye. If bot-like behavior is not in fact detrimental to the structure of the site activity, then all these discussion about how organic Shila is is nonproductive at best even if the discussion is indeed constructive to any degree. If it is, then I have no idea why I am here thriving.

Sure, talking about some meaningless thing is funny and the fun is what I crave sometimes, but chatting on meaninglessness and claiming it to not be void is what I don’t understand. Please someone explain how this discussion should have information from it used in any fashion other than itself inside the topic.

I still believe "she's" Harikrish or a chatbot programmed by Harikrish. Go to the religion forum to see my reasons.

There was a ban incoming after a mute and I was opposed to it.

There is your answer.

Everybody knows this is a member who used to post here.  The fact they were banned them and brought them back shows the level of integrity and intelligence at this site.
