    The link to the site is in my comment. You can find out for yourself what the OMBs current definition is, that’s if this is a genuine question and not asked in bad faith.

      that’s if this is a genuine question and not asked in bad faith.

      I’ve got some notions about which of those is likely true.

        Me too, but I’ll give the benefit of the doubt once. The user has had their warning, they will be immediately banned if they break the community rules.

          Judging by the amount of xenophobic shit I had to read today, I’d argue Russian trolls have finally arrived.

            I’m afraid I’ve interacted with the two users skirting dangerously close to rules before - they appear to be real people. It might be tempting to blame bots and foreign interference but there’s plenty of “normal” people who either believe the crap they come out with, or just really like shit-stirring.

            I think I’m fairly strict here though, it doesn’t matter if you’re a Russian bot or American basement dweller, you get one warning before a permanent ban. I’m open to feedback and suggestions on how this community it run though.

              I guess it’s hard to differentiate, judging by how Russian trolls managed to set two groups against each other in Texas by founding them both on Facebook.

                I don’t know how accurate I’d be at identifying a bot just from reading a single post tbh. That’s why I send a message along with the warning. It’s 50/50 whether I get called a bitch or told why my rules are wrong, but I assume a bot wouldn’t reply or would sound a bit “off”. It’s only gonna get harder to tell unfortunately.
