There’s an increase of bot (I suppose) accounts who post a single or a few comics and delete their account.

One of the issue is that they’re often divisive posts (“men bad”, “women bad”, “old bad”, “young bad”, …) like they’re trying to stir up some shit (is “9gag-isation” a word ?)

I’m not sure a simple rule to prevent new account (less than X days) from posting would suffice but I have no other idea.

How could this community deal with this phenomenon ?

PS : I’m not a mod btw, but I didn’t see any rule about discussing the moderation, and I’ve seen other comments about this

Edit: they made a “tatann_2” account to post a few comics so it’s obviously a troll

Edit 2: and now I’m getting downvotes on my posts/comments, even old ones, at least I’ve pissed off the troll

    I think this is the best middle ground solution at the moment. Limiting the amount of posts that can be spammed would act as a deterrent for whoever keeps creating accounts and deleting them within a few hours.

    As a bonus, if possible; limit only accounts less than X days old to that timeframe (this would allow people who actually want to post and keep their accounts the freedom to do so without restrictions).
