A: Probably because a forum ban can be reversed.
Ferret: from [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_bot]Wikipedia:
Quote: An Internet bot, web robot, robot or simply bot, is a software application that runs automated tasks (scripts) over the Internet, usually with the intent to emulate human activity on the Internet, such as messaging, on a large scale.
I’ve wondered about the posts too, but decided I didn’t have quite enough evidence to implement a ban. Let’s give him/her/they/it one more strike.

If its not inserting something into the forum software, whats the point of the bot?

Usually they insert a link, sometimes hotlink with keywords, to something they are trying to sell.

Not really sure where a bot comes from or if it's detrimental to the forum. If someone can tell me, that would be great and i would know whether he needs banning or not.
Q: why is someone is banned, his name is crossed only, not completely removed?
... because shaming has value?

Ferret gave me double secret probation once. Didn’t get a line through my name though. After all, it was double secret

Sometimes they deserve purgatory.

Did anyone know EmptySea is a bot?
