I'm a seed, you're a weed - wouldn't YOU like to be an Amabot, too?

NO, false positives are not expected for “any system,” Glenn. That is a lie that bad programmers and designers spread to cover their own sorry tracks and to avoid testing before going live.

False positives are not inevitable.
They are preventable.
Because they are foreseeable.

Poor Glenn. He’s been AmaBorged.

Great catch, Crafty! (not an unusual circumstance for you, I’d note).

Hopefully, someone who’s still participating over in the NSFE will take time to point out that it’s that particular word in the Product Title which is almost-certainly what the Noxious Weed Amabot is triggering upon…

@joebcrafts

I did post to it.

Yes, the whole thing with their bots is dumb because every single one of them is ONLY looking for a word and is completely ignoring context. It is utterly pathetic that they’ve coded such a generic check.

I would expect them to have multiple Boolean logic checks to better hone in on whether or not something should be taken down.

example: Woad AND Plant NOT Figurine

@joebcrafts

I’m so done with them. There is no point trying to reason with a brick wall.
