What time did they come on in London?

My boyfriend came with me but was on a night shift last night (he woke up at 8pm yesterday) and I want to give him max sleeping time because he’s only just gone to sleep as we needed to travel to Manchester first.

Any help would be appreciated!

For some reason, we’re being targeted by repost bots every so often. I have already tried to implement bot bouncer but it doesn’t always catch them and mess on with the internal settings to no avail. I tried making flairs mandatory but the bot just chooses a random one.

It’s not so much the members problem, but as the only active moderator, my problem. However, I’m not on Reddit 24/7 and sometimes posts garner attention before I can remove them. If you want to quickly search if something is a repost, take the title or a partial of the title and put it into the search bar. You’ll see that the original, human made post was done a year to 6 months ago or so. I even remember some of the originals because this subreddit isn’t even that busy.

If an account is a bot, they usually:

- have had their accounts created in the last month or so, sometimes within minutes
- have absolutely no other post history, sometimes they might have one or two posts in other subreddits but these are still reposts and sometimes their members pick up on them. I go out of my way to report these to the mods also
- have no comments/do not reply to any comments
- only post the title and an image, they do not provide any context leaving people confused

Someone was pretty upset I’d removed a game post the other week, but that’s because it was a repost bot who had posted day 15 of the daily game or something. If a post you commented on disappeared, it’s probably a bot unless it’s on the off chance it’s irrelevant to the overall franchise.

There is a rule that says “no bots” but that just allows me to remove something quickly.

Thanks if you got this far.

I’ve got such a bot problem in r/MeanGirls where they keep reposting posts from a year ago. The users mainly report them but sometimes they get missed and start garnering upvotes again. I can always identify them because they have profiles made minutes or hours ago but it’s very annoying.

I don’t know why that subreddit is targeted in particular and I’m struggling to stop them. I’m the only active mod and have been for a while.

How can I make it so users with only a flair can post, or is there another way to filter out the bots?

I’m on IOS but have access to desktop.
