This bot was originally designed to detect site-wide spammers for moderators. As such, there's a certain part to its algorithm that is more lenient with bots that stay in their own subreddits. The most frequently reported "error" is u/cummybot2000 when in reality the network is giving it a break due to its limited scope.

Sorry for any confusion, and yes -- I do realize that my message "this user is not a bot" gives the wrong impression. If anyone here likes coding, this is the part of the code that determines a user's "spread". Bad bots tend to be all over the site, and good ones/humans tend to stay in relatively few subreddits. The output of that fun

There is no neural network. The bot is meant as a joke. If you came here expecting to post a correction, you've just been bamboozled.

I like how your neural net has higher accuracy than humans in detecting Reddit bots. This is probably due to human laziness, though, and humans posting "good bot" before checking the user's history.
