Just mentioning that yesterday there was bot activity in several old threads. It looks to be all cleaned up but that’s the reason a few of those old threads have reappeared.

Yup. I flagged 'em all.

As did I. Multiple flags often help get some attention (I think they do).

Nice that they’re still pretty obvious. That won’t be the case forever.

What do the mods’ personalities have to do with this?

@hungryonion Idea: If someone wakes up a really old thread on their first day after joining, auto-flag them as a bot. This might cause the occasional false positive, but it will also eliminate most of the bot traffic I’ve noticed of late. Traffic seems to have picked up significantly of late and in my experience these things start as a trickle and before you know it become a flood - so now is the time to act.
