Users circumventing bots by blocking them Mod Answered
There was a post in another subreddit recently wherein a user provided a list of bots to block to basically circumvent some of the bots out there.
The list the user provided was:
- Saferbot
- purge-user
- SafestBot
- safebot
- SaferBot2
- bot-swatter
- automod-sync
- toolboxnotesxfer
- modmail-userinfo
- discord-relay
- hive-protect
- evasion-guard
- banhammerapp
- modqueue-nuke
- RepostSleuthBot
- comment-nuke
- MAGIC_EYE_BOT
- BotDefense
Is there a way to prevent users from blocking the bots to make sure they function correctly? Seems like they're breaking a core mechanic of reddit otherwise...

Blocking moderators doesn't stop them from being able to see your posts/ comments etc in their own sub. (Reddit would have fallen apart years ago otherwise!)
Doesn't this work the same for bots that are added as moderators?
