anti-automation traps?

[neutralhatter]

Is it possible that some networks/online services have some sort of anti-automation traps?
a bot is trying to perform messaging in order to get some attention and the network says the task is performed well, but I know for a fact I should have atleast reached 1000 people... but 0 clicks... there must be some safety guard here that blocks my messages..
Has anyone seen this kind of behaviour?

you tried keyboard emulation? maybe they are catching a bot's presence if keyboard emulation isn't used..

could be... but usually a pause of a few seconds is enough...

Just wondering if anyone has ever seen something like this before.... the site says everything is okey, but in reality no messages are actually delivered...

I think it had someting to do with a blocked url.

Maybe your message is goin to moderation queue after submit?)

Seems like a logical explenation... and maybe it's a hidden moderation que...
and there are 2 ways of sending messages....
1 = public messages, these are moderated, unless I forfill some criteria, and I do forfill the criteria.... but the account can get banned really fast
2 = pm, here again I need to forfill some criteria, and again I do forfill the criteria....and it says the message is sent....

And I now do get clicks but not much,.... so probably there is some moderation que but probably hidden or something.... I don't know... But the account does not get banned or anything...

I am getting through now, probably had something to do with blocked url...
