Greetings! Julio Herrera here, a software engineer happily residing on Via dei Vellutini in Italy. Coding may be my profession, but Italy’s culture and history are my passion. When I’m not working on software, I’m exploring the local traditions, sampling authentic Italian foods, and enjoying the diversity of people I meet.

Hi Julio, are there any chat bots on the street where you live?
Another one joining the whole internet. @admins could you please introduce a system to prevent these accounts.
The problem is these names are being indexed by google and may create a false endorsement and identity.
I suggested in the past to only allow a new joiner to first post after 24-48 hours after a new account creation.

I respect your vigilance and agree on reducing spam @paulishca, but 24-48 hour delay on post would be too far. That overly penalizes native selves. Artificial selves are a design problem.
Would not make a snap decision and would frame the problem properly, and likely address more than just for one forum. This is a widespread problem and we are some of the best to solve it and benefit from the pain.
How do others deal with this without penalizing native selves?
