The bot issue has gotten so bad that Sergei Gerasimenko had all bloggers PM him to confirm they aren't bots:

What I will do is keep building this thread, adding screenshots, to show how the bots can be detected. All bounty managers must become aware of the problem.

What do this bots do? Are they the one to blame for the massive reports on bounties? I really hate those reports they flood important announcements and statements in the thread.
I think you're talking about the Twitter reports. I wouldn't be shocked if some of those are bots -- at least the Twitter accounts, since Twitter is known to have a bot issue. Basically, what's happening is that blog accounts are being created through an automated process -- the URL often will have numbers associated with these accounts, as a tell-tale -- and the multi-account abuser uses article spinners or other software to crank out dozens and dozens of blogs in a single bounty campaign, stealing stakes from everyone (even those not blogging). Also, many of the new accounts at BCT are bots -- fake accounts to build up stakes with signature campaigns and the proof-of-authentication.
Oh okay, now I get it it's about blogs. Thanks! I saw some post also claiming a blog post. He said that he has not posted it for that campaign and that is not his username. This must be the same thing. It will be hard to detect false claim on blog bounties or is it just me.
