The comment spamming bots are very annoying but I wouldn't worry too much, the reputation of those accounts is very low.

Calling it a war is just a way for them to give it some kind of legitimacy and drama, it's just a temper tantrum 😂

Check out these posts if you want to know more, but it's kind of boring. I assure you, the voter bot I've made is nothing like these (it's up vote anyway, no comment posting)
