We need to nominate a dude to the mod team for the EXPRESS purpose of banning this weirdo's alts. I'm grateful to u/DomitiusofMassilia for popping in every few days, but sadly that's not frequent enough. We need a daily reader who can just hit "ban" when he's browsing comments. It won't solve the problem but it'll alleviate it.
We could also freeze new account creation and open it for select periods, announced with pinned posts. Our growth would be disrupted of course, but it's not like that matters that much.
Except none of you have been ignoring them. Every thread they are in have people responding to them like clueless fucking normies.
It's literally one of the first rules of any forum: DON'T FEED THE TROLLS.
And yet half this fucking board keeps doing it.
It's honest to god mind boggling, because the trolls aren't even subtle about it, and yet you people keep falling for it.
It wouldn't make a difference. It's an election year and the feds are paying people like this to disrupt and derail dissident forums.
That's not the reason, this particular troll has been pushing pedophilia on other boards on this site daily for multiple years now. He just found a nearly unmoderated board here where his alts will last longer.
It's not a troll. His attitude is common among his miserable kind.
What he is, is persistent.
I’ve been better about not feeding them. It can be tempting with the dumb stuff they post
My block list is getting crowded
Some have fed by leaving comments, if all we did was the down vote to oblivion and that's it then we'd be a lot better.
Lots of people are ignoring him, but you can't prove a negative like that so any and all who do so are "unseen".
