So far it hasn't done anything, but my guess is that it's a bot. I'll go delete it.

so, what a bot does is that it basically goes to random sites and puts stuff on it that people don't wanna see and there for these bots might cause the site to shut down. or am i way off?

if it hasnt done anything than its not a bot. a bot would be programed with constant actions untill termination of program.

i do not think its a bot

Well bot stands for "robot." Some are good, some are bad, we have a bad one it would seem. Basicly you can program bots to do various things, just like real robots. For example a robot which makes jobs easier could be compared to a bot which automaticly bans people for severly breaking the rules (what a help that would be :P). A bot which pushes people down could be compared to what someone's sent here.

@ cam

I believe that it was a bot, but it was not logged in when I activated its account. Basicly I think that once the bot registers, it auto logs in, and then automaticly posts the spam. But since I have to approve it, it does not know how to log in, thus it can not post.
