Compile threads that have been copied and reposted by troll

I know ya'll have been trying to figure out what's going on spam bot vs troll. I thought maybe we could compile them here as it continues to happen.
It's not really so much of a problem that it requires any attention in my opinion, but I am intrigued by it nonetheless.

I remember at first it was thought to be a troll because a lot of them were coming from an IP supposedly in Vietnam. Lately from UK. If someone is masking IP addresses, like via tor, it's it random? I don't know much about that.

They are easy to spot as they are always made by members with 0 games played.

They question is ... why?!?! Which makes me think it's someone who is bored and fucking around. Maybe this post is pointless as everyone seems aware of it, but I've been sick for 2 days and there is nothing else on the internet left for me to do.

Here are 3:

Have you considered writing student papers for a small fee? Could give you something to do and bring in a couple of bucks.

By default it is random but you can set Tor to only route through servers in a specific country if you want.

heres a idea pay them zero attention as thats what they seek ur playing into there lil games ...if u see a post about game play with new recruit that has zero games in just ignore the simple minded twats .....if tor browser is in play they can use different ip each time they log in to cc club meaning infanite accounts can be opened ...its easy for admin to identify this issue however time consuming ..just ignore and move on stop giving these parasites time of day !!

Ah I didn't know that. I used tor for a while but, even like with just something that should be as simple to use as duckduckgo, it just doesn't hold up to the ease and accuracy of turning off all privacy switches and just rolling with google.
