Chalk this question up to simple curiosity - I'm not upset, or thinking this is a problem that needs fixing; just curious if anyone else sees this:
I know we all get really strange feedback on our arcs from time to time - messages that make the player who sent them look like idiots, *drunk* incoherent idiots, or flat out mean-spirited jerks. *That's* not what I'm referring to.
I also know we all get 'feedback' that's just the default 'leave feedback here' message from players you don't want to submit feedback, but hit submit on accident rather than quit. I'm not curious about that either.
What I'm asking about it this: how many of you get feedback where you've got the default message followed by long, completely random strings of characters? I'm not talking a string that suggests somebody trying to navigate and forgetting to close the feedback window (e.g. wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwqeqesswwwwsssqqrr), I'm talking about random keyboard mashing (e.g. jlk;k;lh';;ljlyudfdf9090((())[[][]}}}}lll;l). Often immediately preceded (or followed) by an empty 'complaint' filed against the arc. ('Empty' = no comments, as opposed to a b.s. complaint that has no merit).
My curiosity was piqued when I got three of these in a row (but over two days) from exactly the same global.
Purification is *by far* the arc I see this the most on. My others, I might very rarely get the 'random string' comment (but far fewer than Purification) - and no complaints.
Anyone else seen this? Any ideas as to what it is? Sure, I've got some pretty basic ideas of my own, but I'm really just curious...

It might be ratings griefers who are too dumb to know that you don't have to leave a comment for a rating to count. Would make sense if they're dumb enough to try and ratings grief a DC arc anyway.
