Title: Fearing a vendor may be a bot to gather information.
Post by: anewfeeling on August 16, 2012, 04:55 pm
I'm messaging back and forth with a vendor currently, for some reason m8 comes up alot, and the last message there was a w8 any idea if this could be the scripting of a bot breaking down? Or have any clue as to what these mysterious m8's and w8's are.

m8 = mate
w8 = wait

i'd say it's just some 18-25 year old...not a bot

I'm guessing their are English as well because "mate" and "m8" are more Britisms than Americanisms.
