what's with these [deleted]s that keep replying to my posts? Is it a username that just looks like a deleted user?

it's the same guy, used to be wastingtime, aetherisuseless, round2, suspicious. he sometimes creates an account just to make a few comments, then deletes the account as soon as called out, and makes a new one straight away. RuckFeddit also noticed. he is good friends with nemacolin, i saw it in your thread yesterday - the internet hug.. imo we should ask the admins for a remedy to prevent continuous account creations from ip addresses that just deleted their accounts. or something like that.

Actually if you can remember older-reddit. You could do something like this! There was freedom to do that and if this place wanted to offer something similar; you should leave features like that alone.

Edit: And no, I wouldn't delete my accounts just as I am called out. I do it mainly for humor and to keep people on their toes. Its quirky and schtick. Also helps me not get as addicted to social media with fake internet points.

And no, nemacolin and I aren't good friends. that internet hug comment was actually sarcasm, damn you are too boring and literal to be my adversary: u/useless_aether (Round 5).

if this is what makes you happy.. my only (somewhat lame) objection atm is that you are depleting the user-namespace. and we still need a handle to refer to you.

the looper ?

the eloper ?

Hmm... call me: "the infinite_eloper",

Edit: Nah its too stupid. No handle.

But well, I understand your lame objection; if you wanted to ban features like continuous account creations from similar ip addresses because it uses up name space then its fine. At some point other people might need to use some of the cool and awesome names I come up with! All good.

Glad to have helped you find a possible exploit to prevent against misuse.

Yep! Take note /u/magnora7

It may be a good idea to have a time limit duration in between account creations from similar IP in order to clamp down on suspicious behavior. Like 5 or 6 hours? or 24 hours? Whatever works best.
