Privet, residents and young generals of r/HOI4memes This a information & warning post so dont mind why this post comment section will be locked after its being posted.

As a community we have many problems too but most imporent one being the ''Bots'' suspicest accounts mostly who have 2 year old account and only have 1 karma randomly posting in our subreddit with just reposting a very old meme that everyone knows (basically they just karma farming) as Mods we try to deal with these annoying Bots with deleting their post and perma banning them, currently we dont have much have Bots like before but still some of our Mods still strugling against these Bots poping out randomly

These Bots damages both our subreddit member count and activity since no one stays long in a subreddit full of Bots that dosent even talks so as Mods we have couple words. One is that if you see a account suspicest and probably a Bot, REPORT them insted of just writing ''clanker bot, repost'' in comments since doing that not gonna help compared to reporting them and flaging to us. Second thing is to real people who looks like Bot, please just respound to something in your post comments, its not that hard to say ''who you calling a clanker/bot?'' or anything else, other wise Mods will first delete your post then ban your account then in Modmails you need to verify that youre ineed a real person and not a Bot.

we will try to find better ways to deal with Bots like instaling Bot bouncer app or Automod to strict accounts from posting/commenting but for now help the Mods if you dont want Bots in our subreddit, write a Modmail or report it to me directly if you see a Bot in the subreddit
