Didn't see the obvious rule breaking.

They literally reposted removed comments and posts to evade u/loki88's ban.

it's very unlikely they're the same as loki.

Considering the evidence: I think it's likely they're the same person — and if they aren't: it's hard to argue u/bobbobbybob and u/loki88 weren't working together.

As for the ad bots and spammers, I keep seeing a TON of brand new accounts posting random links.

It's loki88; he likes to make a bunch of accounts to post ads and then votes on them with a bunch of blank accounts. It's obvious it's him if we check the IP logs. Not all of them are his, but I know for a fact he's responsible for some of them.

u/friday3 is the anti-American bot u/bobbobbybob got mad at us for banning. It posts articles to gain karma so it can spam copy-pastes about how terrible America is on random posts. I kept the articles but removed the comments, which is what Magnora told me to do when I see it.

Fried beans got the second one for ad spam, and the third one hasn't broken the rules yet. Thanks for reporting them to me!
