I mentioned it MANY times to M7

Yeah, I had to gripe quite a bit for him to take action, LOL. What crossed the line was that they where using multiple accounts to bypass sub creation and ownership rules — and I had proof it was one guy, because they all used the same IP address.

I've been curious as hell to know what's in /s/CultureWar.

It was literally nothing until I opened it up. One guy made a whole bunch of subs, privated them, and didn't make a single post.

Thanks for all your efforts there. What were the others that guy made? CultureWar could have been good, maybe the other subs are potentially good too. /u/prof only has the one.

I've pointed out problems with https://saidit.net/subs/new/ subs being created in series, most recently /s/MacAppNews and the like 28 days ago. But even since then there have been more so I don't know if M7 even bothered to do anything about it. Another batch 13 days ago too.

I don't care anymore.

I know s/gab was one of them.

DM me if you see anything suspicious!

/s/MacAppNews and the like 28 days ago.

I just banned u/MacAppNews for ads, but left s/MacAppNews up, since the sub wasn't an ad in of itself. If it does become an ad (I'm not sure if u/d3rr fixed the bug where banned users can still change sub settings): tell me and I'll either get rid of it, or take the ad out.

Another batch 13 days ago too.

Thanks for the lead, I'll look into it.

I sent this PM to M7 27 days ago (with no response):

I haven't looked at new subs for several weeks, but here may be some worth knowing about in case they get habitual. One case is obvious. Obviously I can't know if they are all directly related, but there are themes and suspicious activity here, all within 1 and 2 days ago.

/s/webpws/ created by /u/webpws saiditter for 1 year with only 5 posts in this sub.

/s/CODEBY15/ created by /u/buybestfollower saiditter for 2 months with only 4 posts in this sub.

 

/s/AppleDataHoarding/

/s/MacAppDeal/ created by /u/MacAppDeal saiditter for 15 days mod of /s/CloudStorageDeals + /s/MacAppDeal

/s/CloudStorageDeals/ created by /u/CloudStorageDeals

/s/MacAppNews/ created by /u/MacAppNews

/s/BetaMacApps/ created by /u/AdminAppleDataHoard2

These 5 have different unique sideboxes at least, the last 2 with nothing, perhaps tired of making them.

On /s/new/ [/subs/new] 4 of the 7 above have links in their descriptions, much higher than average.

Also, I just realized, I haven't bothered notifying you about the medicine subs which seem obvious, but at least they're not piling up.

I think I got them all, thanks!
