I’ve been noticing an influx of users with anonomized usernames (ie: fjdasklfpudiosa722104891fdaf20j.srv.us).

As a moderator this concerns me because it immediately triggers a ‘this is a bot or nefarious actor’ instinct. Is there any reason not to be wary of these accounts?

    No more wary than, say, CriticalBadger or SuccessfulCrab45. Some of the more obvious bots have very normal-looking names.
