I never quite know what to do about these threads that are started by spam posts. After I ban the username and delete the spam, the replies are left behind with nothing to reply to. And sometimes the replies are kind of entertaining and I feel a little bad about just deleting them.

Is it okay if I just go ahead and keep deleting the whole thread in future cases? If I get to it quick enough, it won't be very many posts yet...

Well, it did teach me that Google Translate is not a fluent English speaker. Here's the en.wikipedia.org text:
Wikipedia wrote:The Game of Life, also known simply as Life, is a cellular automaton devised by the British mathematician John Horton Conway in 1970.[1]

The "game" is a zero-player game, meaning that its evolution is determined by its initial state, requiring no further input. One interacts with the Game of Life by creating an initial configuration and observing how it evolves, or, for advanced "players", by creating patterns with particular properties.

I think it was just replacing some words with synonyms to keep from getting caught.

"cellular automaton" = "cell robot"

You're probably right. I shouldn't underestimate Google's mastery of anything.

Yeah, I think deleting the whole thread (assuming it doesn't have anything "worthwhile" in it) is the appropriate course of action in general.

A processed meat bot is a computer program formulated to aid in the distribution of processed meat. Processed meat bots often make accounts and distribute processed meat texts with them. Cobweb hosts and website operators have retaliated by blocking processed meaters, resulting in an ongoing conflict between them and processed meaters in which processed meaters unveil new methods to evade the blocks and anti-processed meat programs, and hosts counteract these methods.


Am I doing this right?

We should start referring to cellular automata as cell robots.

:lol: But you should try this.

The Game of Life, also known simply as Life, is a life-bag thing made by the number liker whose name sounds like "Can way" in 1970.

The "game" is a none-player game, meaning that its changing comes from how it is at first, and it doesn't need more changing. Someone does stuff with the Game of Life by creating a beginning shape and watching how it changes, or, for big head "players", by creating shapes that do cool new things.
There is life on Mars. We put it there with not-completely-sterilized rovers.
And, for that matter, the Moon, Jupiter, Titan, and 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko.

This one actually makes sense:
Game of Life or Life is a cool math game made by math guy John Conway.

It has no players which means that the computer does the stuff. You can play it by drawing stuff on the grid and watching it or for pros making stuff that does cool things.

Here's the translation for simple people:
Game of Life is name of game that maker John Conway. He like numbers.

Game is have no player, computer do the play. You play Game of Life by draw things on squares and look. For the good player he make thing that do cool thing.

I keep getting confused cause it says I made the thread. But that's because I'm the first non-deleted post.
