Description
Related to #1301 but instead of blocking, just clearly label every comment and post from users you've flagged as being from suspected karma bots so you can get a better idea of how infested the platform really is.
These flags would obviously be locally stored since Reddit doesn't have APIs for this, but a future vision could include a third party bot list sharing website to contribute to and pull from.
