So recently two things have happened. I have been banned on reddit technology, and warned on other subreddit that I behave like a bot.

Maybe it was my fault to advertise my own solution in comments.

Such behavior however triggered bot detection. I might have behaved like a NPC. So currently a human can be identified as a bot, and banned on that premise. Crazy times.

Currently I feel I must act like a human.



I read your comment with a robot voice, kidding. False positives are always gonna be the problem.
