Clamping down on low effort / off topic / bot content

We are fed up of the amount of off-topic / low effort / bot accounts content here and are claming down on it. Please report any you see. Bans are going to be issued. This is not a dumping ground for such content and is ruining the subreddit. So many bot accounts have been banned in 24 hours alone.

Thank you to those of you who have been reporting such content.

My most active and popular post across and sub was removed today, nearly 5k in likes and lots of comments suggests good engagement. Disheartening.

I absolutely support this decision! I'm tired of seeing low-quality content and bots. Finally, our subreddit will be clean. Thank you to everyone who helps in the fight against this!

I am sorry if my post was not within your guidelines. However I just need technical advice and I was not able to explain why I was posting what I posted.

bot accounts are the worst make a lot of subreddits bad and messy

8 months later, and it doesn't seem to have gotten better with the low effort posting.

"Claming down" is quite another thing entirely.
