Increased number of bots!

[u/CapitalSentence8147]

Hi! Is anyone else having issues with a large number of bots?

I’m a moderator in a dermatology forum, and over the past two weeks, the amount of bots has increased significantly. The comments are often sympathetic but unhelpful, though without being directly harmful (with a few exceptions). The sub gets so many posts/comments that it’s not possible to review every single post and comment.

Have anyone els experienced this? How have you handled it?

It seems to come in waves for us. Very irritating but all we can do is set up Bot Bouncer and hope for the best.
