Clownfare's continuous security protocol isn't very effective in stopping them.

I routinely block 5 to 10 new users every day.

I call these ones "one-domain-submitters", surely they are being blocked by me.

alexstein is a bot as well, most likely.

alexsein is sneak-esque.

Sneako was funny. This guy just aims to demoralize and even incite violence, that's why I'm suspicious.

That's radicalisation

Yes but my point is that it's done by bots.

The violent one is "winkot" I think, I also think alexstein=sneako.

Oh you're right.

I think it would be a good idea to institute a similar strategy that Reddit has. New users need a certain comment karma before being allowed to post and upvote comments. So bots could not just create a bunch of accounts to upvote each other.

I was think that too. It is a sensible requirement.

Also, a site charter outlining how the site is suppose to run. It would give admins something concrete to fall back on as well as guidance. Basically a more formal version of the site rules.
