    I glanced at the "Members Online Now" and noticed 35% were bots. Is this normal? I'm a bit bothered by that. Why are bots part of a forum? And 35%? That's a lot. How am I supposed to know I'm chatting with humans, and not participating in some weird data-collection scheme?

    The forum is under constant moderation and the staff team use over a decade of experience and knowledge to ensure threads and responses are authentic. Between us, we read everything that is posted on the forum and we have become highly adept at identifying inconsistencies and contradictions, which violate the Code of Conduct. In all cases, issues like these are quickly challenged in private messages to members and appropriate action taken.

    No need to worry, the humans are in control.
