WOWCube Jam maybe using bots to promote themselves - then deleted the post about it. Help

A while ago, I started a post on the jam's page about how a bot was spamming promoting material for the jam every 30 seconds. The suspected bot in question is called Nikola 0020. It received 15-16 messages from other users, and received a response from wowcube that it was "an overexcited user" and had "Asked them to scale it down" It did not slow and many didn't feel this as an adequate explanation. Nothing that violated any itch.io rules or that would warrant a takedown was sent on it - yet it was taken down silently and without explanation. I would really appreciate if some other game devs could help us combat this - and also if some higher ups could please look into the matter or the bot, or even just tell us what do. Thank You all.

It's a bot indeed, you can see it training on its own game here  and their youtube channel and meetup confirms that Nikola0020 and Nikola Peric from the wowcube jam are both the same person...

Them answering "an overexcited user" is fallacious

Ah ok, thanks for the info
