    A quick rundown.

    Basically they make a reddit account, let it age like milk. You know, keep it in the basement with 0 post history of any kind for half a year or so. Maybe multiple. Than they activate it, it spam posts, and it never responds to users like a human would. Even stealing comments and such.

    Those are the main symptoms. OP not responding to being called a bot is especially the major red flag most use.

    Edit: When I say OP, I’m using it to refer to reddit users in this case. Not the OP of THIS post. For him, thank you for the laughs:)
