Using a bot is fine... as long as it actually works, but there needs to be some occasional manual checking. Making a post 75 characters long doesn't mean the post isn't spam, and can be abused in several ways to get around it like this and the Malin Keshar situation. That user should obviously be kicked off the campaign for making poor posts alone.

I looked at his recent posts and almost all of them are in chinese.  I certainly can't judge the quality.  It's cool to know that you speak Chinese tho, hillarious.  For some reason I thought you had told me you were Candian (not that there aren't candians who speak chinese, but that's certainly not the stereotype).

I see it may be hard for you to scroll down, like just a little but here im going to quote his last posts so you can judge:
I can't figure out why people feel the need to be assholes just because it's the internet.

All of them have poor quality + the spaces i was talking about earlier, you can just see it when quoting

Jeesus dude, I guess it must be hard for you to click "next page", but if you do, you'll find pages and pages in chinese many of them very long winded. I have no idea what he's saying and my point was merely that it looks like English is probably not his first language.  I don't know what quality of posts you achieve when writing in a language that you don't know too well.  But either way, there's no need to get all snippy.  Pull your panties out of your butt and relax.

The 75 character minimum was likely instituted as a way to prevent people from spamming their signature with a lot of insubstantial posts. It was probably not anticipated that people would try to cheat the system (or maybe it was and the parties didn't do anything to prevent this).

I think it is interesting that bitmixer has almost the exact same rules, yet they have not encountered similar problems.
I think it speaks to the quality of the counting script, clearly the one coinomat is using has some serious issues.

People have complained that they were "unfairly" banned/removed from their campaign so it should be clear that someone is watching in the background even though they are not active in the forum.

I agree with hillarious on this, it only makes sense to use a script to do rote (and concretely defined) tasks like counting posts and excluding certain sections---robots do a much more accurate job than humans an this kind of work.  But when it comes to understanding context and making judgements about quality, robots are not even close to what a human can do. To not use a human for this latter job is to deny its importance.  And I agree that folks who are advertizing on here and not caring about the consequences of how they go about this should have to answer for this.
