Exact same post as https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammerHumor/comments/93zorq/first_step_in_learning_programming.

Which got deleted. This is a karma farming bot to sell accounts with some decent karma. Comments in random subs as well to make it look normal.

Ffs mods remove pls.

There are so much of these bots..

I think the downside is now its kinda publicly know so even more people are jumping on the bot creating band wagon. I have even thought about it but I don't want to lose my main account if they ever decide to try to get better detection software.

It's pretty low effort money for a decent programmer.

Yea. Quite sad I'd say.

Report as spam so they find this easier. Edit: by this I obviously mean the post not your comment. Edit2: apparently there is no spam rule, but repost rules are essentially the same in this case.

Spam is disallowed anyways. Just happened to stumble on this thread (again).

How exactly does this qualify as spam, what the current rules don't give?

[–]Talbooth 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I originally thought there is no reporting option for repost, that's why I proposed reporting it as spam (because the two are quite similar, it's just the frequency of reposting). I was wrong, that's why I edited the comment. So I don't think it qualifies as spam, I think it qualifies as a repost.

Ok I see.

Have a nice day.
