If anything is a bit shady please let me know
...well, the behavior we're seeing suggests that something is going on. It's just not clear what. Again, obvious conspiracy interpretation is that some script is executing differently when replies are made to this thread than when replies are made to other threads. That would be consistent with the interpretation that this thread has been marked for monitoring, and rather than depend on people to actively monitor it, someone simply created a script to inform someone every time there was a reply so they could check it, and was a bit careless in making it.
...but at the same time, ATS is an old website, and I've personally encountered a history of strange scripting issues.
So there's not enough information to conclude that anything shady is going on. I've seen enough strange scripting on ATS that it wouldn't be unreasonable to dismiss this as just old, bad scripts doing strange things.
But it does raise an eyebrow.
Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean that they're not out to get you.
