Meta: What to do with bot accounts? (self.gis)

For those who've wandered in here, you may have noticed the recent spat of bot postings. What's your take on that? Just can the postings and ban the user?

I think I'll probably do that preemptively right now, but I'm curious what experience or thoughts the rest of you have.

I noticed a lot of posts coming from this community and was excited until I noticed it was a bot posting. May just have to ban the bot accounts when they arise.

Yeah, sorry about that. The account is banned. I was getting excited, too, until I realized what was going on.
