This post will serve as the first update to the original post found here : Bots bots bots! Learn the signs and Report any you see!

I understand there was some scepticism about the presence of these bots when I posted about them initially and since then, I've conferred with mods from other subs as well as the team from r/BotBouncer and reached out to the admins on r/ModSupport (with no reply, as expected so far).

They've taken over other subreddits and others have noticed [ #1 ] [ #2 ] [ #3 ].

This update is for our community and moderators and redditors from other subreddits who come in here wanting to learn more about what these bots look and sound like.

With that being said, the setup in r/travel is such that we seem to be able to catch most of them before they're visible by the public so you'll see that almost every new thread will show "1 comment" but nothing is there.…
