There is one jealous fellow who thinks as CID, who will sleep in the morning and will wake during night and will scan and post something which happend earlier in the afternoon! He used to abuse everyone who posted before him as BOT. I am one of the person who got abused. There is another chumcha of that CID who himself awarded 'Ji' tag to himself  :D Both were telling I was a bot because often my thread had 0 views! Our forum Admin clarified the reasons but as they are sadly deaf in understanding anything as both their left and right ears gone. I am not talking about any fake hearing loss thread by the way  :) Now the proof of some alleged BOT posting, it faked by its jis to have more than 400 people roaming all over all through the day that too reading all old copied posts!
