  I had family in town visiting a while back. They brought their RV and were staying at a nice park by a lake. While there I decided to walk my dog down one of the paths to the lake. When we reached the edge of the water we stood there for a second and he started sniffing around. For whatever reason, I thought, “this would be a great place for a snake to be right now”. As I completed the thought I looked towards my dog and about 2 feet in front of him, where the bank met the water was a fairly large water moccasin. I locked the leash and pulled my dog back to me and then left. It was very surreal. If I had waited another 10 seconds I’m sure my dog would have ended up being bitten.

  I think it’s kind of a chicken-and-egg problem. Hopefully the community existing and having regular posts increases the odds of user interaction like comments and votes, which would naturally lead to more and more posts from actual members. Hopefully whoever is running that bot can wind it down while actual engagement ramps up.
