I don’t really get the point. I mean, of course we want to attract people, but do we really want to trick them into thinking that there is content when there’s not ?
The other day I took some time to answer somebody and came back later to finally understand that I was talking to a bot. Not only did I waste my time, but the real person needing help didn’t even know I tried to help. I felt aweful.
I know the job is hard for mods to create content and motivate people into participating but there must be another way.
