The bot is spamming FTF PMs

Snorrrlax commented 6 years ago

We just received this message in modmail from /u/ThomasWHS titled "The CMV bot is sending me hundreds of messages":

This is the message I keep receiving:

Fresh Topic Friday

from CMVModBot sent a minute ago

Hello!

It's currently Fresh Topic Friday at r/changemyview, which means your post is awaiting review by the moderators. You won't receive any responses in the meantime, but a decision should be made shortly. If the topic is deemed too popular for FTF, you'll have to post another day of the week.

For more information on FTF, please see the stickied post.

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the moderators directly.

Me again

Please stop the bot from sending me messages.

Thanks, Tom.

Also, it seems to be caused by this post, which was created an hour or so before FTF began.

Disable PMing for now. I'll check it out in the morning.

Looking through CMVModBot's sent messages, and without scrolling back hundreds of pages to be certain, these seem to be the users that were messaged repeatedly:
