      If indeed you are intending to comment spam then the best lesson I can give you is this:

      Automated rubbishing of human-oriented environments (like forums, e-mail, IRC) is hated by professional programmers everywhere.

      We all want to use technology to better our lives, but the pollution of automated scripts advertising where only humans should tread only makes life worse for EVERYONE.

      You ruin a customer experience. You make programmers attempt to find ways of minimising automated script invasion (extra work). You devour the economy by wasting money, resources, and time.

      So, unless you're completely stupid, do not underestimate how strongly the professional computing community would react to you if they learnt you were undertaking automated pollution activities.
