It has been discussed before as well. Check the topic below.

You can find tons of these newly created accounts posting regular off-topic replies in almost every section in the forum, mainly Bitcoin Discussion.
Their motive is still non-understandable. They are not doing this in announcement threads so that we could think this is some Bumping Service in action. All they can get by doing this is activity points and negative trust ratings both of which are not going to benefit them in any way.
Maybe this is some kind of reactive instinct within the people who got hurt by the Merit system and now they want to annoy every last one of us that are on a brighter side or have different thinking perspectives from them.

I used the term shit-posting bots because I can't find a better way to describe them.
It's okay, actually it's fit to it.
Anyway, there are lot of these "shit-posting bots" out there which has worser posts than this. I've seen several accounts when reporting before with almost all posts are garbage posts like "Good project" and etc. You can find thousands of bot accounts by just visiting a bounty or announcement thread with more than 100 pages. Aside from bounty/ann thread, you can also find shitposters in off-topic section posting off-topic reply in a thread in off-topic.

I hope they are going to be nuked soon. The problem is, the average shitposter writes those kinds of post, even though he is not a bot. But I would say, the replies are more relevant to the subject, unlike those bots that reply about traveling in a post about gaining weight, for instance.
