PSA: bot comments are taking over ao3
The above examples have been provided with the authors' permission to demonstrate what these look like.
Basic rundown:
- They are all 3 sentences long
- Perfect grammar, capitalization, and punctuation
- Like absolutely flawless English teacher-style writing with only a single exclamation mark, ever
- No mentions whatsoever of character names, settings, situations, or anything that could be tied to the story
- The usernames may be identical to people who exist on ao3, but the name is not clickable, and no profile is associated with it EXCEPT when you directly search for that name. What this means: the comments come from an unregistered (not logged in) reader, bots scrape the site for real usernames, attach that to the comment, and post
Please spread the word about this so authors can filter comments and report them accordingly
There has been some speculation about why this is happening at all, and the best guess is that this is a feature that AI-training story-scraping tools are implementing to try and make their browsing traffic look legitimate
what fresh hell is this?
24hoelygrail asked:
Hello! 💞I have uni-lateral cleft lip and palate and as a final year student (Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences of The University of Bucharest) for my bachelor’s degree thesis I am investigating religiosity, spirituality and self-esteem in people with cleft lip and palate.
My aim is to evaluate the corelation between our beautiful condition, self-esteem and spirituality/religiosity.
As someone with cleft lip and palate I am asking for your help so I can collect the information that I so desperately need in order to not only finish my thesis but hopefully to also advance the scientific understanding of our condition.
Based on feedback from people whom have filled it in thus far, some might even get some insight regarding their own selves.
The form takes 15-20 min to complete, it complies with international ethical standards, GDPR standards and doesn’t require any identification at all.
From one cleft lip to another: thank you to all that have completed and are completing this research. Thank you so so much! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeE0oN3m0x-BJFKFybq51ruQHqyQaT8LHKHGi8S3zcW803X2w/viewform?usp=sf_link
I’m so sorry that I didn’t answer before. I had been inactive. I’m not for sure if you still need information or not,
Remember when I was talking about Bruce gently cupping Harvey's face and kissing his scars? Yea.
Now it's available in art form [click for HQ]
Wanna be on my tag list? Lmk in replies!
I hate the way yanks talk about people's teeth
yeah im not done actually. perfectly white straight teeth are deeply weird and should not be considered some kind of ideal in any way. braces arent useless but they’re for cases where genuine harm or pain is being caused not just aesthetics. teeth whitening is fucking evil. crooked teeth, yellow teeth, chipped teeth, they’re all literally fine. your row of porcelain fucking tombstones make you look like a goddamn mannequin. if you’ve ever made fun of someone’s else’s teeth i hope reality fucking rejects your existence
