View submission: /r/xkcd kerfuffle megathread
Agreed. I'm not super keen on the idea of it whatsoever... and it opens the floodgates for this kind of bot to become rampant on reddit. Nonetheless, I can't think of a more effective method of reaching people on /r/xkcd about this sub.

I doubt it would be the first time it's been tried. Certain past events have intimated that the admins almost care more about PM's than about 'public' spam, possibly because it has more potential to disrupt an individual's 'reddit experience'. Subs have been banned, or threatened with bans, for spamming invites to mod positions before, for example.

Maybe /u/xkcd will do a xkcd[1] about /r/xkcd?

Meh. The fact that I still haven't gotten any PM spam over the last 2-3 or so years shows that reddit has something in place to block such bots.
