I don't use Reddit much, and I've never moderated a sub, so can you explain more? Why would the mods need vote bots to control their own sub? Can't they just moderate it?
- hehheh 10y agoThe bots (if there are any, I don't know) were designed to upvote the posts enough that they'd flood the "all" page, which is an aggregation of many subreddits.
- Natsu 10y agoDidn't Reddit remove them from /r/all? I saw mods saying that they were among the ones removed from /r/popular at least.
- Klathmon 10y agoNo, reddit made a special rule that their "stickied" posts wouldn't show up on /r/all because the mods would sticky things to "slingshot" them to the front page one at a time. And the users of the sub knew to upvote anything stickied. They still will show up on /r/all of the post was never stickied.
