I am Pioyi and I approve this message

Yes. I don't think they are bots, just organized spammer groups, given that signup has captcha and they have just one post per account. From Kenya, Pakistan and Vietnam most likely. Not very different from bots though in a way.

I was having some fun at first, but after they did vote fraud and reached the most highly voted article on the site I decided to intervene by forbidding signup from VPN and adding manual moderation locking tools and blocking banning the fuck out of them. It took a while but it seems to have worked and it has stopped for a bit.
