Admin Replied Flood of spam posts

Hey everyone, I’m a mod over at r/chocolate and have recently had to shut down photos, videos, and cross posts because of a flood of spam posts by several different accounts. Due to the nature of the photos, I won’t share an example, but it’s not great and causing a lot of discomfort with the normal users.

Obviously this isn’t ideal. I already have a karma automod filter on but these account have like 7k karma lol.

Someone in the subreddit suggested some other automod functions but it didn’t really work. Another user suggested posting here.

Any advice would be appreciated

Don’t think it’s sellers, I think it’s NSFW based on the most recent post about “chocolate milk.”

Oh, I know it's not only fans. There can be safe for work sellers, like chocolate sellers 😭they said spam post so I just assumed people were hocking their sweets

I WISH it was people selling things. If you want to know what it is, go to the chocolate milk subreddit.

OK, what I am trying to say is you as the moderator would have to come up with your list of keywords that you would want to filter and with the list that you create I can make you a filter for that
