Maybe that is so the Amazon BOTS can identify the other BOTS?

They are the second troll that went after me with bad research. I went back at them with some history and suggested they needed to do better research.
A MOD told us to behave… 
If they are human, then the number could be phone extension or employee badge number …
If bot, then bot hierarchy …

Nope, every one with that number at the end is a bot…

Reminds me of the Star Trek episode “I, Mudd” with all the Stellas. If we could just somehow turn them all off. Maybe ask them to calculate the exact value of Pi.

It took the better ½ a few years to figure out why I’d resort to saying “Please don’t be Stella” in times of conflicting opinion rendering reasonability unreachable.
Reasonability has reigned supreme ever since one of my younger siblings showed her why I like Roger’s second portrayal of the character in that episode, but -
I’ve been suffering penance ever since.
I tend to believe that those formats are the bots.
Why would they not have the Smile logo like the rest?
Why this format for their handle?
Yep … BOTS!
ETA - I started to post a thread in the NSFE warning posters about it last week … but got busy.

Support staff has behaved in a manner which is a prototype for a bot for a long time.
It would not surprise me if there are sufficient transcripts of interactions with sellers to train a bot, and it could be any day, if it is not already the situation.
The lack of accuracy in responses is irrelevant. Almost every AI application is based on flawed information used in bot training.

I kinda feel like NSFE users either are already watchful and aware (i.e., savvy SellersAskSellers members), or don’t care as long as someone reinstates the unjust deactivation of their 5M+ RA account immediately, bot or not.

It happened at 2:14 a.m., EDT, on August 29, 1997.

I don’t think the bots could be any worse than the humans. This is from a human overnight.
The category doesn’t qualify? That’s weird, the listing has had the badge for 2 years. Also weird that the 2-pack variant of the ASIN has the badge right now. Additionally weird that we have multiple potencies of the same product, in the same packaging, and all of those have the badge. Hundreds of competitor listings have the badge as well.
This is the most idiotic response I have gotten to date from Amazon support. This case was already in escalation with SAS and will be resolved probably today but it’s really really hard to be this wrong or dumb. The people that work in this specialized department don’t even know what qualifies for it.
Does anyone actually give a crap about compact by design?
If your packaging wastes space, you’re the one who pays higher storage and fulfillment fees, that’s not my problem.

For those of you who have only been raised using streaming services, this is a spectacular reference to a move series starting in 1989, called “The Terminator”; where sentient AI makes time traveling, cyborgs meant to kill resistance leaders before they are born in the past.
2:14 AM on Aug 29 is the day the military AI system “Skynet” became self aware and humans tried to shut it down, resulting in the fall of humanity for the most part.

I don’t, but some people do. When we got the badge, there was a measurable uptick in sales.
All of our other main competitors have it so I want it back so we compete head to head, on all levels, no matter how insignificant one of the levels might be.
It’s also about stupidity and making a point. This is what I sent to my SAS manager when I got the idiotic response from SS.

I’m surprised that it impacted sales.
Well, if that’s the case then it’s worth fighting for.
