What do you mean by "ping suspected user telling them to only respond or change the vote numbers if they're a bot"? Your screenshot does not show that. Did you actually send them direct messages giving explicit instructions, or did you only make the comments in your screenshot?
If I got a notification because my username was mentioned in a comment with a nonsensical sentence, I'd probably downvote it.

step 1: create private secret subverse.
step 2: ping suspected user telling them to only respond or change the vote numbers if they're a bot
step 3: wait
THIS METHOD CAN BE REPLICATED

i pinged them in a private, secret subverse no was told about.
private subverses arnt on the main system, they dont show up and votes there do not effect your final score.
these accounts also responded to 4 previous bot checks in public, and the screenshot you're looking at is a 5th bot test in a private one.
the bots apparently cannot parse "do not respond if you are human". the target they're set to hit, they hit, regardless of post content

If you ping them they now have a reason to look

pinging them just expedites it. they've been following me around for the past few days, especially after writing up the weeb invasion recap
same group behind it possibly?

Maybe they didn’t read your pm? I never do. Not saying there is a bot problem. Just trying to figure out how I can do this myself.
