I know the mod report system isn’t perfect, but if you are submitting a mod report that alleges a user is a previously banned user trying to evade a ban, please message me (or us) explaining why you think or how you know that. If the post isn’t breaking any of the other rules, the only piece of evidence I have to go on is that the account is new and submitting a post, but we can’t use that as sole criteria for identifying whether someone is or isn’t evading a ban.
Not that that isn’t good advice to make mods’ lives easier in general, but for the ban evader I think you’re talking about, it’s usually pretty apparent if you look at the profile of the user being reported:
- Minutes old, 10+ posts and no comments or maybe 1 boilerplate-looking one.
- Usually cycles through c/Politics, c/News, c/Health, c/UK, c/Ohio, c/Television and a few others
- Here lately, spams out 10+ posts rapid-fire and then deletes the account (not all UIs indicate a user is deleted, but that info is often helpful).
Granted, I’m really good at pattern matching. It’s like my one neurodivergent superpower lol.
I’ve noticed the drive-by accounts that immediately delete themselves afterwards lately. I was wondering what was up with that.
