    Those are not people. It's bots, and their goal is to make us feel miserable

    What's your question?

    Those posts are from spam bots. They are not being posted by people. They are automated. Report them. Mostly report the gibberish answers of misc letters. The accounts are attempting to gain points in order to post more spam questions, even though we don't see those questions in the categories because the spam filter is catching them.

    Verizon's security was breached by the Chinese 2 days ago. The accounts and the postings are generated very quickly by computed scrips or China is paying people BT the lost to post both spam questions and answers on YA hoping to overload the server computers so they crash.

    All you can do is report the non answers as TOS violations.

    Just people trying to get their 2 points. it's called point gaming and is against the terms of service. Y/A doesn't do anything about it. I personally don't care but some people do.

    They’re Chinese spammers that are just point gaming so they can spam more Chinese spam questions. Click on their names and look at their profiles.

    Just an effort on someone's part to rack up as many points as possible... Probably hoping to hit level 7 so they have more power. Hell, they're probably using a bot.

    I dont understand why answers i received were complete random nonsense such as askdhjgaskjd or akjsdh and there were many of them.

    I had to report every single one of them. Is that normal now days ?
