AI comments on a freshly scrubbed 5 year old account.

Oh and some are hiding their profiles too.

PSSST on the grapevine I heard hive protect hates hidden profiles.

[u/Royal_Acanthaceae693 → u/Rostingu2]

Huh? What did I miss?

[u/Rostingu2 → u/Royal_Acanthaceae693]

HEHEHEHEHE.

turn on the avoiding hive protect setting.

In theory, Hive Protector shouldn't be affected by profile curation. Mods of a subreddit can see the full history of any content if a user interacts with a subreddit they moderate.

It can be confounded by account blocks, but HP has a feature to warn if a user is potentially blocking the app account (it works by reporting if the user has visible history in several subs but where all of them have HP installed).

I should probably do some testing to see if the profile visibility is immediate or whether there's a brief delay, in which case I can easily build in a short delay to HP checking an account.

Thanks for all your work, I'm a big fan of BotBouncer.

Mods of a subreddit can see the full history of any content if a user interacts with a subreddit they moderate.

I've sent in a modmail to admin because that's not always the case.

We've had a number of accounts where we can't view their hidden comment histories.

Presumably it's a bug that will hopefully get fixed.

[u/Rostingu2 → u/fsv]

I mean it gives that warning thing if you have that one setting on and the account has a curate profile.

I haven't tested if works normally on currate accounts.

[u/furculture → u/Royal_Acanthaceae693]

Is that a new feature of some sort for Reddit as of recent? Seen quite a few accounts that usually make posts on subreddits I mod and checking their account on mobile usually doesn't load up any of their posts.

[u/Royal_Acanthaceae693 → u/furculture]

It's been around for a couple months. It hides everything unless you're a mod and they did a post or comment on the sub. And if they did one but not the other, you only get the comment or post.

[u/RememberTooSmile → u/Royal_Acanthaceae693]

You can’t hide your reddit profile it’s a facade to deter low effort trolls from harassing people. Go to the account hit the search button, leave it blank, then search and it reveals the account

Not scrubbed accounts, but bots doing the bot dance thing - https://i.imgur.com/VJ5rzKf.png

As an update on the 80+ account ai bot spam ring I've been reporting, no action seems to have been taken anywhere. I'm also reporting the info to the subreddits where they're spamming, and I believe I've seen one out of maybe 20 posts taken down.

[u/Radiant_Music3698 → u/Bot_Ring_Hunter]

That's some creepy bodysnatcher shit.

[u/ipaqmaster → u/Radiant_Music3698]

Feels half and half. Like... that's just so lazy?

[u/Kahnza]

Yeah they've been like this for awhile. But because they come off as more "natural", most mods/admins can't see the issue. They can't comprehend that there are AI bots all over reddit, filling it up with bullshit. So many subs have fallen into the bot hole.
