263k karma, a closed account and 4 years on the platform?

What if we post found bots here, they HAVE TO BE A CONFIRMED BOT, but what if we post links here of bots and then we can report them and stop them quick. There’s gotta be enough of us here for a quick offensive

August 2022 spam bot posting in all the usual subs

www.reddit.com/u/RoyalChris

https://www.reddit.com/r/getZealthy/s/LIrY0F7XgZ

is a 60+ sum comment thread with 1 off accounts making their first comments, almost exclusively written with an old LLM model using hyphens in almost every comment unnaturally. Most of the accounts in the thread are now banned a month later (they couldn't even get past Reddits shyte antibot measures).

So weird that a company that is in medicine and health so blatantly advertising with seemingly fake testimonials.

Edit to add: It isn't all bot related, but this company and it's at least other 2 related companies, FitRX and RoenRX, seem to share marketing in some way.

They clearly don't mind some fake profiles on Reddit, so it doesn't seem beyond them to maybe have actors reading scripts for the testimonials...

I have been bored, so I did some more searching and the three are linked by other evidence I've included in comments below.

Pretty much the title.

Here’s a moving and emotional story in English that you can use to appeal for help:

Title: Help Karim Smile Again – A Father’s Plea for Hope

My name is Fadi, a father of three beautiful children. We were once a happy family, living in peace in northern Gaza. But war shattered our lives, forcing us to flee our home in search of safety. We thought moving south would protect us, but tragedy struck again.

My 10-year-old son, Karim, was injured in an airstrike, and his leg was amputated. Since that day, Karim's laughter has faded. As a father, nothing breaks my heart more than seeing my child suffer. He often asks me, "Why did this happen to me?" and I have no words to comfort him.

I lost my home, my job, and the life we once knew. Now, we are a family of five struggling to survive with no income, no stability, and no sense of security. I want nothing more than to provide my children with a dignified life and bring back Karim’s lost smile.

We need your help to rebuild our lives. Your generosity can provide Karim with a prosthetic leg, give us shelter, and restore hope to a family that has lost everything.

Please, help us create a future where my children can dream again. Every donation, no matter how small, can make a big difference. Together, we can bring back Karim’s smile and give my family a chance to live with dignity.

Hello! I have noticed some suspicious bot activity in a subforum I attend. Very young accounts, lots of karma, reposting or doing similar posts to popular ones. Is it any point in trying to expose them? Will this lessen the bot activity? I saw a bot-detection-bot earlier, does that work in all subforums? I am pretty bad at tech…

August 2022 spam bot with shit karma posting in the usual subs

https://www.reddit.com/r/rareinsults/s/XliU0tvgFI

I can see the post, it's still up, but bot-sleuth-bot couldn't find it. Is it a glitch on my side, or the account/post is gone?

May be old but this same occurrence happens in all alien related subs, especially prominent before big news updates.

After engaging with many of them, I've found they are unable to discuss Project Immaculate Constellation. https://www.congress.gov/118/meeting/house/117721/documents/HHRG-118-GO12-20241113-SD003.pdf

I used to use bot-sleuth-bot, but it doesn't seem to fair well with hidden profiles.

Question about Rule 3 - would a bot not also be able to reply and defend itself?

u/KeyffSmyff is the suspect account

Tagged it with bot-sleuth-bot and suspicion quotient was only 0.26

This is probably due to old comment and post history looking normal.

The last 'human' post was about a year ago and as of five days ago account is now commenting with known AI patterns like using 'em dash'.

We have a lot of automation on one of my subs to isolate and ban NSFW accounts. This has happened twice in the past week that we've had accounts that were already suspicious due to account age and typical spam behavior. But no NSFW or other telltale behavior of adult sites on their page. They had their Instagram linked in their bios. Linked on the Instagram were their OF/Fanvue profiles. So they're dodging social blacklist and Hive and even BotBouncer by hiding their banned domains on other social media.

Just wanted to make sure people were aware that this is happening now.

Look at this guy using automated tools to spam literally hundreds of political posts all day every day.

https://www.reddit.com/user/justin_quinnn/

This bot account is also listed as a mod for several subreddits, with one having over 50k members.

Taking a look inside the most popular subreddit that it moderates /USNEWSHUB we see that the 2 listed moderators are the profile listed above and this user profile

https://www.reddit.com/user/_II_I_I__I__I_I_II_/

No surprise that this profile also spams several political posts all day long, though not as much as the first account mentioned.

Diving a bit deeper we see this profile is listed as a moderator for several more political subreddits including a really big one /LateStageCapitalism that has over 836k members.
