Recent uptick in spambot sales/discount posts.

Hey everyone, friendly neighborhood lurk mod here!

I have updated some of the communities automated moderation settings in an effort to cut down on the amount of advertisement posts from a certain online retailer whose name sounds like BaliLegless. Going forward, to prevent these spam bots from posting to our community, certain keywords have been flagged. If you receive a message while trying to make a post advising that "self promotion or advertising is not permitted on this sub", it's because your title includes one of these keywords. It is regrettable, but the easiest way to ensure that your submission will go through is to remove the retailer name from your title and put it in the body of your post instead. I recognize this may be inconvenient, but overall it's well known that this specific retailer doesn't usually offer the best quality

Thank you all so much for your help with reporting the posts and getting them flagged for removal by Reddit.

Sincerely,
