Attention all forum moderators, i will be conducting repeated experiments to test the anti-spambot counter measures and the alertness of the community during the remaineder of this year and for the next year as well.
I will be posing as the spambot/master and will create irrelevant topics/posts containing links to harmless websites(such as game forums or a news channel).
To avoid confusion with new members my bot names will start with either one of the following letter's x,y,z,t or u.
Either that or it will begin with 'sir' followed by the remaining name.

No, you will not do this. Because it in itself is considered spamming, and you can be banned.

Please, don't do it.
We are already working daily to deal against real spambots, we don't need simulated spambots.
FYI, a spambot is dealt as follows:
- posts are deleted
- account is suspended (for suspected spamming users) or deleted (for blatant spambots)
There is no need to test our alertness. Moderators are here every single day, checking the forums multiple times a day.
