General Any ideas on how to get rid of AI accounts?

I've been getting comments like the following:

that's a bold move bringing back Bielsa's 3-3-1-3! looks like you've got a solid plan with those wingbacks and inside forwards. can’t wait to see how it pans out in the league, especially against your old team. good luck with the UCL goal!

that 3-3-1-3 sounds wild, love the tactical twists you're putting in. it’ll be interesting to see how the players adapt to the new roles, especially the WBs. good luck with the UCL run, hope you get to lift it against Man U!

sounds like you're on an epic journey with Lugo. love the tactical twist with the 3-3-1-3; it’s always fun to see how different formations play out. best of luck turning them into a powerhouse!

All three on the same post. It's not unique to this post either, my sub is plagued with bot accounts that are using LLMs to try and farm karma. Has anyone encountered this, or have any idea how I can possibly combat these aside from playing whack-a-mole?

General Automated Messages To New Posters

2 Upvotes

I'm the sole mod for a small community that is vulnerable to bots and bad actors. I inherited it from its creator so it wouldn't go abandoned and am relatively new to all this.

Using Android official app and desktop.

I added the Read The Rules app to help filter offensive things from reaching the general populace. Since I'm alone and can only monitor during certain times i can't always respond right away.

It's been working well since bots and the ill-intentioned can't or won't bother to take the extra steps. The posts are removed automatically and i can take additional steps later when i have time.

The problem is that despite a pinned post at the top of the sub, legitimate users who don't pay attention are having their stuff taken down too. Only a few take the time to read the removal message instructing them how to fix it. So a bunch of things that would be great to have up are getting lost (or manually approved by me later) and some members are complaining that they're tired of getting notifications of new posts only to find them removed.

Recently i tried creating an automated action so that anyone posting would receive a notice/reminder that they need to acknowledge the rules first or their stuff will be taken down. Not knowing how else to approach it i set it up so any title/post that does not contain "a specific odd convoluted word unlikely to ever appear naturally" will get a pop up message.

It worked great in the preview test for me and as far as i know everything is set up correctly but it does not seem to be working irl.

Any advice on how to create such a notification effectively? I'm open to either fixing this auto action or utilizing some other means I'm not currently aware of.

Or is there a better way to handle this altogether?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I create a monthly thread and mark it as a megathread, but this time, that option is missing from the bottom of the post. Has something changed?
