What were the others that guy made?

I know s/gab was one of them.

I've pointed out problems with https://saidit.net/subs/new/ subs being created in series

DM me if you see anything suspicious!

/s/MacAppNews and the like 28 days ago.

I just banned u/MacAppNews for ads, but left s/MacAppNews up, since the sub wasn't an ad in of itself. If it does become an ad (I'm not sure if u/d3rr fixed the bug where banned users can still change sub settings): tell me and I'll either get rid of it, or take the ad out.

Another batch 13 days ago too.

Thanks for the lead, I'll look into it.

I sent this PM to M7 27 days ago (with no response):


I haven't looked at new subs for several weeks, but here may be some worth knowing about in case they get habitual. One case is obvious. Obviously I can't know if they are all directly related, but there are themes and suspicious activity here, all within 1 and 2 days ago.

/s/webpws/ created by /u/webpws saiditter for 1 year with only 5 posts in this sub.

/s/CODEBY15/ created by /u/buybestfollower saiditter for 2 months with only 4 posts in this sub.

 

/s/AppleDataHoarding/

/s/MacAppDeal/ created by /u/MacAppDeal saiditter for 15 days mod of /s/CloudStorageDeals + /s/MacAppDeal

/s/CloudStorageDeals/ created by /u/CloudStorageDeals

/s/MacAppNews/ created by /u/MacAppNews

/s/BetaMacApps/ created by /u/AdminAppleDataHoard2

These 5 have different unique sideboxes at least, the last 2 with nothing, perhaps tired of making them.

On /s/new/ [/subs/new] 4 of the 7 above have links in their descriptions, much higher than average.

Also, I just realized, I haven't bothered notifying you about the medicine subs which seem obvious, but at least they're not piling up.

I think I got them all, thanks!

Since then there are these suspicious subs that come in groups, usually on the same day, often sharing co-mods. Obviously I didn't delve as deep.

 

/s/MacAppBundles: MacAppBundles
/s/AppleStyle: AppleStyle
/s/AppleEditing: AppleEditing

 

/s/McDonalds: McEthnostate
/s/BurgerKing: Long live the king!

 

/s/3DS: 3DS
/s/2DS: 2DS
/s/DSi: DSi
/s/SuperNintendo: Super Nintendo Entertainment System

The Mac app stuff is definitely spam. I'm still going through his alts. The McEthnostate thing made me laugh my ass off when I saw it. I think that and the burger king guy are joke accounts? I'll handle the Nintendo stuff in a sec.
