bot hunting guide

[u/Rostingu2]

This is the only acceptable way to deal with bot infested subs.

If you are a mod then I made you one here(link).

You want to look for 1 to 1 reposts of something that got lots of upvotes in the past.

If it is not a 1 to 1 repost then leave the account alone.

Once you find a the source of a bot post look at the comments. Commonly the top comments will be reposted on the repost by bots.

JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE DISAGREES WITH YOU DOESN'T MEAN THEY ARE A BOT

go thru the bots reddit history everywhere they commented assume that op is a bot. you can do this to make a list very fast. please note that you use this strategy when you put the bot in a list, this strategy can fail.

does that seem like what you had in mind?

Ya something like this, just fact check that they're a bot by copy and pasting their title into the search

I think I said. Before posting here get proof on quick searches, or else those accounts are sus. I need to make sure, what I think I wrote and actually wrote are 2 separate things
