I reported some users to the moderators where it was obvious. Either the account answered long but generic, a certain weird pattern a genuine users wouldn't do.

I reported some users to the moderators where it was obvious. Either the account answered long but generic, a certain weird pattern a genuine users wouldn't do. Or multiple accounts have an agenda like trying to mention a certain product, answering each other questions. Most bots submit ads or spam though, super obvious, often dumb and auto-blocked by HN algorithms already. Bots are not allowed on HN.
