    You could get some of the mods from news to come here and moderate civility. It is their favorite thing in the world to do. They don't have any other hobbies or interests besides deleting comments for civility all of the time. Maximum civility moderation efficiency. They are the best mods, the greatest mods, there have never been better mods than these crack elite super elite mods.

    What else are you expecting them to do then if they already answered? Write an essay on DLL injection and walk everyone through the code line by line to convince them it's not malicious?

    I said that to indicate that the dev had already responded to the posts, and they were not in a different time zone or on vacation, as you suggested in another comment.

    the issue was just posted 7 hours ago. maybe they just haven't seen it yet.

    There are multiple posts going back 5 days of people asking about it. Check closed issues too, the dev even responded to some of them by saying it's only a false positive.

    Seems strange that the dev seems to be keeping quiet on this, no? I'm not telling you to read every comment of every post, you can just skim the post titles. Then you'll see multiple open issues and a few closed issues too going back 5 days to the latest BtS update. Though I haven't followed this project long enough to tell if this is just the way they normally behave. Edit: I'm back at my computer, so it's easier to edit and add info now. Some key points that have stuck out to me: * Previous version released in July only triggers 2 detections on Windows defender versus 29 for the most recent version: [https://i.imgur.com/GIoH7eG.png](https://i.imgur.com/GIoH7eG.png) * Users getting constantly pestered to update to the latest version: [https://i.imgur.com/Oege3kU.png](https://i.imgur.com/Oege3kU.png) * Yeah, naturally, the dev is going to say it's a false positive. Obviously. I've only mentioned that the dev has previously responded because some people barely skimmed through the issues and thought the dev simply hadn't seen the latest open issue from only a few hours ago, when that is not the case.

    Bot accounts farming karma, since karma actually became a useful currency on Reddit once communities started restricting accounts from posting or commenting that didn't have scores over a certain threshold. Then those bot accounts with "real" looking karma scores can go spew out commercial and political advertisements anywhere else.

    SDV and other niche subs get hit because even without the bots there all upvoting each other, it was already a happy go lucky upvote party.

    I remember first watching this show and loving it. Story, jokes, setting, characters all hit right. Over time I've come to gradually like R&M less and less. I think it's a show that came into existence at the right place and right time but has overstayed its welcome.

    Even if Howells was able to somehow find the drive, it's been sitting in a landfill for more than a decade. Still, his team of experts believe there is about an 80 percent chance that data from the drive would be recoverable.

    Is this copium?

    True. However, I don't think my comment was that bad, so I also wasn't even suspecting anything would happen.

    It's like these guys just started using the internet yesterday and everything offends them.
