I’ve noticed we have bots copy pasting Reddit submissions. Is there a method to block them all?

I assume they mean good by ‘generating’ content in communities, but I don’t see a reason why anyone would comment on them since the OP is on Reddit and will never read them.

I know I can block each individual account as I come across them but I’d just prefer to block them all so I don’t see their content at all.

They appear to do the nice thing by adding a line in the submissions about it being an automated submission. Is there a filter for words/phrase found in the body of a submission?

    Automated mod actions, Sports game threads, L4s, Hackernews reposts, sales threads, weekly threads are what you might miss out on.

      My instance has daily threads. It’d be nice to distinguish between community bot and generic bot. I should see if there’s a request for that already.

      I want more sports related bots to post, I know I missed blocking some. Roaches they are, everywhere.
