    There is/was a Firefox extension that mods used which would put a warning on an account that participated in any of those subs. Mods are supposed to look into the nature of that participation before acting on it but of course not many did.

      Whatever it was felt automated. It was very shortly after and all happened at once. I doubt any human looked at it.

      I remember people talking about the bots at the time.

        anyone can just look at thier mod help sub, where they request assistance from the admins, you can tell some of them are pretty lazy or petty.
