Yes. Feel free to speculate as to why Dom has chosen not to.

Is it because he's an enemy actor and this is a containment board and allowing it to be overrun with other bad actors jams up an otherwise useful stream of information during election season?

A new profile/user, denoted by the handshake icon next to their name. Since this is a relatively small niche forum on an already small niche site, the vast majority of handshakes are alts and/or subversives, trolls, and shills.

I did. It definetly works, and it's definetly removing posts, but it doesn't remove all of them. Our most aggressive brigand and spam bots seem to be able to get around it, and I have no idea why.

Have you considered asking the admins, who when asked by me and half a dozen other people here are baffled that you haven't fixed it yourself?

Or even the ConPro guys who have actually driven this fucker off?

He did ask the ConPro mods. Our responses were pretty much all the same: "hire more mods to keep moderating active throughout the day."

Yes, and the ConPro staff haven't really given directions on the filter, specifically. I need to get on the Discord link that C sent a while back.

Because the accounts are “sleepers” who have been “seasoned” in some way. Here is the most recent one to slip by:

If you look, it’s over a year old, despite being a handshake still

That would explain one issue.
