So all of the shennanigans from wallstreetbets has spread to /r/silverbugs now. I woke up this morning to a dozen or more (fake) low karma accounts stuck in our automod (we filter low karma accounts) saying to buy this stock or that this morning.
For now, automod is doing it's job, and I'm throwing bans out left and right but what happens if they start using more mature accounts that get around the karma threshold?
Next, I'm adding rules to our automod to remove posts that mention a handful of specific stock tickers for manual review until this calms down.
Is there anything else I might do to keep our sub from seeing all this nonsense? I'm hoping when the market opens in a few hours it stops but I'm guessing this will persist well into tomorrow.
