    What does Spam botting forums mean? Cause in Survival, i was just replying to everything people had posted. Then i go back, and my profile pic(head) is on every forum post on the first page. Is that forum spamming? If it is, sorry about that. Ill try to limit how many posts i reply to.

    No it's not. You're fine, thank you for being so involved in the forums!

    Spam bots are posting random threads that usually have a scam/virus website link attached.

    @Voyagerbrothers it's those forum posts that look something like this:
    definitely a tryout omega it's really cool and you need to trait out it's really expensive and this is literally the only acne treatment I’ve been using I have been using anything else because my skin hasn't been that bad actually because they've been using my regiment really well on <link> so his own skin producthappy sorry for acting really good and you really don't need a lot if you find that you like so print readers can well you don't need to use on time acne products so unless last but not least PI with my twenty don’t have to press for my eyes I missed the last evening show you on so for ice cream I'm not very picky <link>
    Or
    even the posts that make ABSOLUTELY no sense with just random words strung together
