Because most users will only see on the front page /u/lok88-approved posts much of the day, can voting be limited to verified email address users?

Yeah, it might deter some, but not Loki; he'll do anything for attention, like a toddler — a devil-worshipping toddler. I bet it'll shut down the Americans bot for a few days, though. If we ban email addresses along with users, it would make it a bit harder to spam than just asking them to click a link on any old email.

Requiring an email address would also help at making sure u/Basghetti doesn't lose her account again. LOL

A 24 hour wait to post would help, along with a badge that identifies new users for the first two weeks. The badge timer starts running with the first post.

I'd just prefer they make an s/introductions post first.

Nobody does that, though. You have to be high in Openness and lots of people aren't. They keep themselves to themselves.

I realized that... meanwhile, I typed up an essay.

Wow, there's the pot calling the kettle a negro.

The point is not to deter them thought. It's to slow their productivity down. If it reduce his spamming speed by 20%, that's more free times for you and the rest of the admins to clear their spams.
