That’s the benefit of active moderation on Reddit, I can filter out most of these bogus accounts.

Most of them.

Hey - big ups to the mods here... I just got like 7-8 "random" posts on old content that was obvious Fireman and co spam, and it was GONE before I could even click on it. Thank you for your vigilance in taking out the obvious trash. Debate and all that is healthy, but an organized effort to spam lies is not.

Yeah, that's the one... suddenly my inbox lit up. There were like dozens of them on older content... in the span of maybe 3-5 minutes. Some variations, but pretty much the same writeup.

A lot of it is automatic Reddit removal of spam which exactly what these guys are.

But then we have to decide what is and is not spam.

Ooooh. What were some of the more deranged ones?

I caught a glimpse of one calling Sam Pesin a trust fund baby. I'm sure, as a former pre-school teacher, he'll get a kick out of that!
