@LMAO is flooding the site with random communities because they’re salty about being banned for claiming too many community names. They claim they’re trying to “fuck your entire site up” but I imagine it’s a relatively quick fix to delete all the communities they’re creating, LMAO.

    So cap communities created per month, and have a global cap on communities modded?

      I dunno, honey-potting is a better idea IMO.

      Let them make a billion communities. Makes it easier to catch-and-purge later. You’d rather have these accounts waste a whole bunch of their own time that can be automatically detected and dealt with.

        They could probably just write a script to generate countless communities in no time. I think there should be some sort of validation.
