Unfortunately - yes, this happens in most recent coins threads, especially ICO coins. Part of the posts are bots, other part is hired teenager trolls, paid to post useless and meaningless positive comments to create an impression of big positive interest by community.
There are still quite a lot genuine people in the threads of older coins though. But many old members have left the forum already. This forum is at the edge of dieing. This is sad, as this used to be a good place to discuss projects, to find the truth, and to expose scam projects. I don't think there is other media where you can initiate discussion with the team and ask non-pleasant question with anticipation of answer. Twitter, facebook, even reddit are just places for the scammers to lure people, as there is almost no real discussion there, but just "announcements". I do not imply this particular project is a scam, I just don't know, as there is no open discussion at all. Maybe you can use their Telegram/discord channels instead, typically ICO holders prefer such way of interacting with community, because they can moderate there easily, and those discussions are not visible for outsiders.

I hope Theymos will do something to save this forum, because it is unique.
