Kerblammer...

Why on earth would someone need a car remote jammer? Only use i can think of is for murdering people in parking garages. Shudder.....
If people want to unlock their car... I say let them. Controversial stance, I know.. .

A bot that waits and has a discussion thread before going back and editing links?

Check the first post of this topic seems suspicious not sure if we can keep the discussion however.

I removed the links. We'll see if it recurs. The original posts seem genuine. Maybe the user got hacked or something?

I find it a bit unlikely... unless there are two accounts that follow the same pattern.

I think it's a new kind of thinking bot, that posts RL stuff on RL boards and then unsubtly finishes with spam links (or insert them in their message).

I found two in the Dark Beyond board, each related to horror or scifi, and ending with spam.

Did a search on the content of one post to find it was a copy-paste from another board : https://www.reddit.com/r/audiodrama/com ... _the_dark/

Bots are learning, or there are Ctrl-C Ctrl-V monkeys who have way too much time to spend spamming.

I suggest we shoot them on sight. They are not real messages from a real person anyway. I just deleted about six-seven users with this pattern.
