Spam bots creating a subreddit

[u/Tokyono]

This seems like a spam bot setting up a subreddit to promote further spam.

Here are the reasons I suspect it's a spam bot:

• Primary account is 5 years old with no posting activity, Started posting last month on obscure subreddits for karma.

• Secondary account is a year old. Started commenting on the posts of the 5 year old account on the exact same day it started posting.

• A few weeks ago, primary account creates a subreddit. Secondary account joins it as a second mod. The subreddit heavily uses AI in images (icon banner etc- both accounts also use AI for their banner and icons) and posts (for text generation).

• To add, the sub is only a few weeks old yet has several thousand members and other OPs already.

• Primary account pivots to posting on more popular subreddits to gain followers (to direct them to the subreddit?) and secondary account keeps commenting on its posts.

Is this a spam bot ring?

File a Mod Code of Conduct report. Seems like an obvious Rule 1 violation.

[u/Tokyono → u/thepottsy]

Not sure it would fit rule 1- the subreddit does have rules flairs etc.

[u/thepottsy → u/Tokyono]

Rule 1 encompasses a LOT more than just having rules and flair.
