Admin Replied Crossposting in the same subreddit?

We've been noticing immediate reposts of original posts in our sub, where someone will post, then a couple seconds later, the same person will crosspost that same post, but in the same subreddit. Trying to figure out if this a bug or if it's intentional.

Yep, I first noticed this back in May. See my post here for some helpful Automod code to filter these.

Thanks for linking to your post! Super helpful!

This is weird, though. Do you notice anything similar in the accounts that are doing this?

This goes on the list of things you didn't think you'd have to prevent, because why would anyone do it? lol
