....yeah. I added a filter in Tesseract to automatically hide "drive-by" posts for accounts that are less than a week old who self-delete themselves. Can't stand that.
Not that that isn't good advice to make mods' lives easier in general, but for the ban evader I think you're talking about, it's usually pretty apparent if you look at the profile of the user being reported:
- Minutes old, 10+ posts and no comments or maybe 1 boilerplate-looking one.
- Usually cycles through c/Politics, c/News, c/Health, c/UK, c/Ohio, c/Television and a few others
- Here lately, spams out 10+ posts rapid-fire and then deletes the account (not all UIs indicate a user is deleted, but that info is often helpful).
Granted, I'm really good at pattern matching. It's like my one neurodivergent superpower lol.
Email on your own domain: Yep, super easy.
Email from home IP or from the IPv4 you get assigned with a VPS: Super difficult
To be fair, it began with the misstep of his senate confirmation.
