Hello, my fellow DPer's!

Recently we've been under attack with Chinese Bots. I know you've noticed them, even though a few slip through and post Anti-American leftist rhetoric before we catch them.

Staff is aware and we react and mark these bot accounts as soon as they are recognized with this Avatar :

Additionally, we'll add their location as "Communist China".

This Avatar is a Winnie-The-Pooh with 4 Corona Viruses on the Red backdrop. Fitting, as that China infected the world from their cartoonish leader.

Winnie-The-Pooh is reviled and hated among the Communist Party of China because it is the Avatar of President Xi among the resistance that Hong Kong protesters chose and it was utterly banned in all of China's reach, and that's why we have chosen this particular flag to identify Chinese accounts here on this board : Winnie-the-Pooh wearing a facemask with 4 CoronaViruses spreading from him. It is appropriate and fits.

While Jim does not censor anyone who adheres to the very lax rules that we have around here, he will not allow this board to be used as a Communist Chinese propaganda outlet.

Hence, you will occasionally see an account with the above Avatar and location marked 'Communist China' that is summarily banned. Staff will mark all these known accounts as a Chinese Bot with the aforementioned markings as we come across them.

Feel free to respond to these clearly marked accounts appropriately, but be aware that what you're responding to is a Bot. You won't get a response from this account. However, be aware that your response IS gathered and studied in detail by Chinese propagandists.

Do with this information as you will.
