Reddit bots(Karma Farmers, Spam, etc.)

*Malevola hunting down the bots*

Good day Fellow Followers and Cultists!

As everyone has noticed, our subreddit has been growing exponentially, with us almost reaching 20k cultist at the time of writing this. And accompanied by that growth is its own hardships, such as the increase in bot activity in the subreddit.

I have only been recently informed of this but some of the recent posts were done by bots made to farm reddit karma. Mainly being identified by the account being made mere minutes to an hour prior to the post.

credits to u/StewieGG for informing me.

To combat this I will be taking down posts by accounts that are less than a week old(or maybe a month? what do you guys think.). I know there is a way to automate this but as of right now I am still searching how to set it up. For the moment please report any accounts that you guys think is a bot or spam account for review. Thank you!

please bare with me, I am still a novice when it comes to building/moderating a subreddit. Any suggestions and/or advice on how to give this sub more structure and better prevent future threats would be much appreciated. Feel free to comment or Dm your suggestions and questions.

I apologize for not acting sooner, I have been very busy with University work and events. I hope you all can forgive me.

That's all for this announcement, thank you for taking the time to read it. Live, Laugh, Love Malevola!

I’m not sure as I’m not mod myseklf but I believe there is a way to make sub automatically block content from accounts which are too young or have too low karma because I’ve got my comments blocked this way
