Are autosubmitters true evil?

hjnet, there is one problem with your challenge: You would be trying too hard, and checking it twice. That isn't what most autosubmitters do.

Yes, I can program a single bot to go to a single submit form and fill it out perfectly. Given 9 times to teach it, I am sure the 10th try would be good.

Most autosubmitters don't do that.

Most autosubmitters get a list of submit pages (often getting the URL of the form processor script directly) and they use them without verification and without concern that changes may have occurred at the link site. They just turn it on a spew like incontenant monkeys until they get blocked at most good places... and still they spew.

Your test isn't valid because it isn't real world. It has no bearing on how things really work, and would prove nothing.
