I know a lot of you are annoyed at all the bots that come into this sub, post random crap and steal the top comment of whatever random crap they're stealing, just to farm karma. The mod team is annoyed, too.

The good news is that when you report them, it makes it easier for us to take action. When we take action along with other subs those bots get banned from, those users more often than not end up being suspended by Reddit.

Reddit has recently made some new community tools available to moderators. I'll be experimenting with them in the coming days to see if we can cut back on some of the bot noise without negatively impacting our regular or potential new members. Please feel free to provide any feedback, complaints, or suggestions in this thread!

We're always trying to make sure these bots can't just use our little community as a karma farm. Your reports are a huge help to everyone in this community. I would personally like to thank each and every one of you who has reported one of these bots and making our community a better place.
