If you start to go through the threads and read the comments you will find quite a few Doomers, Shills, and sleepers...Lately, I have come across at least 3 of them(sleepers)...They got found out because they are getting impatient and can't keep quiet anymore...They are predictable...We don't need them here and they are not welcome...

I tried this as well with a beware titled post. Shills will shill.
How do you view the site? I typically go to /new but am thinking I'll just start scanning hot and rising. Getting a little frustrating/annoying seeing umpteen posts about where is the AZ audit already?! Why is Trump pushing vax?!
I used to look at “new” the most and sometimes “rising” but I switched to pretty much only viewing “hot” awhile back and there’s such a difference! Not as many low effort posts and/or duplicate posts.
New is great to discern the theme of the days slide post topic. E.g. Are there multiple of "muh job is at stake" or similar heart string tugging posts? Or multiple unverified concern or call to action posts.
They will be in relative short succession. The mods are really good about cleaning up identical threads or double posts. So without seeing those and the users posting them, we can't tell what theme the bots and shills are rolling with unless we identify by theme instead of specific content. Which is harder to do, but the pattern is recognizable enough.
u/catsfive hey, you guys should totally make a weekly sticky of the user names you've banhammered and content/links that you guys have caught multi posting the same exact content. Perhaps on slow day? Over the weekend or something going by past trends.
Would be both informative and entertaining.
