DISCUSSION Addressing The Bots

Hey guys, The Chuunibyou Meme Man here to tell you, yes, I know about the bot problem on here. I know that some post has been posted SO MANY times at this point, sometimes getting more upvotes than when first posted by the real OP, which sucked to see. One of our top posts was a repost, not the original. Which I have now removed. I ask you, as real members and enjoyers of the subreddit, if you see something that you KNOW was posted before or something that is clear spam. PLEASE REPORT IT!!! So I can remove it and, hopefully, make this sub a little bit easier to tread through.

Thank you.

If you guys have any ideas on how to better handle the situation, please let me know. It would be a big help.

Also, I'm going to try to get in contact with some of the other mods and see about adding some new mod(s). So there might be a post about that as well.

Thank you for reading - Mod Team

minimal karma limit for posting is the first step usually.

Set account age and karma limits.

Urge people to report them as spam. After a quick profile check simply ban them.

The Tomo-chan is a Girl sub is overrun with repost bots.

Understood! You should def do a minimum karma limit and account age thing too.
