People ask "Are you a bot" ?

[Shirai]

Actually as someone that does a lot on his DoL classes I am fairly happy if people ask me if I am a bot.
Beats getting reported constantly for no reason.

I must admit that I do exactly the same when I come into an area where a lot of characters are gathering (with a specific behavioural patern).
I too just ask at random if people are human (in say), those that don't respond get reported.

This is ridiculous. I'm glad you're not on my server. I go into autopilot mode when I need to gather a large amount of shards/crystals with TV shows or a movie playing in Media Player Classic covering my chat box with the game sound off. Just because someone doesn't respond to the message you sent because you're so afraid someone might be breaking the rules, doesn't mean that they are. Especially when this kind of thing could get someones account taken away from them, essentially robbing them of all the time they have invested into the game up to that point.

You do realise that there are legitimate reasons a person might not respond, especially if you use /say rather than /tell? For example if they're distracted, if your message gets pushed out of the chat window by RMT spam, if they're a console player not currently using their keyboard... Personally, if I'm soloing then I usually don't bother switching my keyboard on, because it's a waste of batteries.
