New moderator added?

[AdolfinWolf]

I see that there is a new moderator for the Beginners & Help section, with zero posts? What's up with that?

No, that is not a new moderator. Although I'll let the relevant people answer what that is about exactly.

I'm assuming it's a bot that either reports spam topics or finds plagiarised posts ? Excuse me if it sounds completely stupid but that's just a rough guess since the account doesn't belong to a real person maybe.

AFAIK you're correct. I believe it's a bot ran by another staff member.

That account is indeed a bot account, which is owned by me. It used to be called "Mitchell-Bot", but I didn't like that name so I've asked theymos to change it to "MindlessElectron". It will be used to combat spam from a dedicated account instead of my own (and thus risking my personal account).

I'll update the account information later on today.
