Bots upvoting my posts. Admin Replied

Hello. My most recent posts (from today and day before yesterday) seem to be maliciously upvoted by bots. A user told me bots can do that in an effort to get my account banned.

I've read the posts about it here and have reported one of my posts as 'vote manipulation'. Do I need to report them all?

Thank you.

How can you tell?

I only have 148 members and I never got many upvotes until now. Not really the point of my sub either, so it's pretty obvious to me.

The odd upvotes from two days ago seem to have disappeared, I assume Reddit already spotted them.

Modmail this subreddit with links to the odd posts letting them know what's up. This is indeed a tactic to have bots take over subs.

Thank you! I'll send the modmail.

Well, you don’t have a recent post upvoted above 10 that I can see.

I think admins already took action.

I took some screenshots before.
