They're not children. They are targeted attacks to quell free speech.

one possible solution would be to implement a quarantine for new accounts. this would prevent spam floods like this.

whatever you do, dont get upset by their childish actions.. instead, make a plan to deal with them and then do it.

The accounts are all 2 weeks old. They aged 75 accounts to do this attack tonight

are the karma-based ratelimits disabled here? something like the RATELIMIT error should stop them normally if they didn't have per-sub karma, no?

Hm yeah that's a good idea, /u/d3rr is there a way we can disable posting for people with zero karma for a little bit? They're literally posting 20 times a minute to https://saidit.net/new/

I don't think there's a way to disable posting entirely right now. This is supposed to handle it:

MIN_RATE_LIMIT_KARMA = 1
MIN_RATE_LIMIT_COMMENT_KARMA = 1

I was pretty sure it was the ice_poseidon guy who is causing us all this trouble, and today I saw this: https://ip2network.win/p/Gv1d4X9M/ice-made-it-clear-days-ago-he-wa/c/

He has the linode acceptable use policy page in his bookmark bar, right next to the cloudflare abuse report link, also bookmarked in his toolbar. That basically completely confirms it's him doing the attacks.

oh wow. well I certainly hope this doesn't happen in the future with another sub.

I told the server company we removed /s/ice_poseidon2 and all related subs as per our agreement. And then it's been an hour and they didn't respond at all, which is weird for them. And so I just sent another message re-confirming that we have removed all the material as per our agreement, and it's been 15 mins and they still haven't responded.

The deadline is in about 3 hours. If linode does us real dirty they may not respond and just let it expire... so maybe we should prepare for that possibility. Make backups of everything right now please

okay. I'll turn off the IP2 redirect for a while too, so the host can see the ban message.

[–]bobbobbybob 5 insightful - 3 fun5 insightful - 2 fun6 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

if linode does the dirty, bring back IP2 on another host and start actions against the troll

[–]magnora7 6 insightful - 2 fun6 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

Yeah me too. I think it probably won't happen with another sub because he is only doing this to protect his streaming revenue, so he really only cares about the communities making him look bad. Plus our other subs don't really break the AUP like IP2 did, so that will protect us too.

Thanks. Look like they stopped last night when i went to bed about 5am and didn't spam anything since (which surprised the heck out of me, tbh).

It will probably explode in a flurry when I actually ban it here in about 30 mins though.
