An automod is making posts asking for moderators in subs where the mods have either been purged or left reddit on their own accord. The predictable result is a flood of copypasted applications from bots.

    To clarify these are not bots but users expressing their opinion in this fashion. The r/modcoord thread where I saw this has some comments with the background. /r/ModCoord/comments/15rvzb0/mod_team_for_rthingsforants_just_got_removed/

      This one is the best but I don’t think it’s a chatbot

      Allow me to mod this community. I have experience in banning the shit out of people, such as u/ModCodeofConduct, and have an itchy trigger finger. I am also in possession of a powerful microscope to help find Spez’s tictac cock. Lastly, I would reinstall the mods, except for the one who passed away and was still kept on in memory and honour of them, you heartless shitlings.

      With this, I hope you can understand just how suitable I am for this community, despite only having learned of it at the same time of you removing the dead mod, and accept me as a new mod.
