Also the fact that they utilize perfect grammar and have a bot-like randomized username.

    The random usernames apparently come from when you sign up using other social media accounts, like Twitter, google, Facebook. For the longest time I thought it was the indicator for a bot account. Turns out it’s an indicator for bots and new-ish users.

    A favorite hobby of mine back in the day (i.e. before June) was to look up the post history of a poster with a randomized username which was recently created and reply "Welcome to Reddit! How has your first week/days/hours here been?" For some reason, simply noticing they had a new account was enough to get them to delete it.
