These bots aren't actual people who can benefit from "unfair rules". This is worse for them.

If it makes you feel any better, I often do ban spam accounts if I haven't seen that spammer before, or if the username is their product's name or company (so they lose that name). In fact that alt account of yours partly falls into the "spammer I haven't seen before" category.

I will feel better when anyone who breaks the rules has the same consequences. I will not stand for you selectively enforcing the rules on me

These aren't people. They're algorithms.

The same rules apply to them. But there's no one-size-fits-all solution. You have to combat different things in the way that works best for them.

Point me to some spammers and I'll ban them (if they are indeed spammers, ofc). But they'll have new accounts ready in plenty of time.

This is what I am asking for, that they get a ban if I am subject to a ban. Also its not as simple as creating a new account, when you banned me I was denied by cloudflare while on this account which isnt banned (I used this browser to post the porn), and is using browser fingerprinting, because changing my VPN did not solve it, but changing the browser did

I did not fingerprint you. I only banned that one account.

Out of curiosity, is automod not a thing on saidit as it is on the reddit unforked source?
why not fight algorithms with algorithms?

I can't just update things like that.

brah... I might be a mod with a knowledge of reddit. I know some algo-rhythms.
u/PanzerDivision posts on tech issues, maybe they have programming knowledge.
I know RegEx well enough to do a catchall that would at least combat something as simple as bone conduction headphones, so the trash pandas can stop their kvetching. You furries, furrr real gotta stick together, one big tarball (l*nix joke) of diss-function! :)

I know how to do it. I don't have access to the server.

uhm, so that part of the API if you will (not that that's API exposure) is not accessible to mods? Really? Like... really?
I thought you all were on an official, though few gens old now, git whatever depository of the code, no?

sometimes if you log in and out really fast you get automatically temp banned by cloudflare
