    They’re constantly changing their display name too. Whether it’s to be more elusive or to make their numbers look greater.

      Suppose the best solution for this problem- is a better system for handling banned/toxic users…

      Would need to be prob a third party script, distributed amongst multiple instances. But- that would also require a certain level of trust between admins too.

      If memory serves me- back in my minecraft days- we used mcbans, pretty effectively for this purpose.

      For websites / forums, I used cleartalk, which actually worked pretty effectively… but, for spammers.

      I’ll have to take a look and see the level of effort to integrate that into here.

        I was able to block them pretty easily. They’re still just on one acct.

          This time. But- when they come back in bigger numbers- its going to be a problem.

          Especially, since you can get banned from one place, and turn around and sign up to another.
