deleted by creator

…yeah. I added a filter in Tesseract to automatically hide “drive-by” posts for accounts that are less than a week old who self-delete themselves. Can’t stand that.

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:

1. Minutes old, 10+ posts and no comments or maybe 1 boilerplate-looking one.
2. Usually cycles through c/Politics, c/News, c/Health, c/UK, c/Ohio, c/Television and a few others
3. 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 shouldn’t say this, but whatever: It’s a “troll” tactic to do that since mods/admins can’t ban with content removal if the account is deleted (unless that’s fixed in .13?) . Admins can remove the deleted flag in the DB for the user and then do so, but mods can only remove items individually. Not that any of these necessarily warrant removal on their own, but not doing so in this case encourages this kind of “hit it and quit it” behavior, and this user is clearly ban evading.

I’m not saying this as an instruction manual but merely as a statement of fact about how stupid Lemmy’s behavior is with regard to deleted accounts.

They’ve had many, many alts over the last 6+ months with the same posting pattern. Not one has been marked as a bot.

Ok, I just gotta ask: what is your motive here?

You get banned every other day for spamming out a massive number of posts. And you just make a new account the next day, start the exact same thing again like…you’ve learned nothing?

I’m tired of my feed being an entire page of just you, and I’m tired of blocking you. Can you not just post things at a normal rate?

To be fair, it began with the misstep of his senate confirmation.

Your point is?

You’ve pretty much just made it for me. Thanks. I’m not going to engage in your gish-gallop.

… And the mod of unpopularopinion banned me. I can only guess he is a another genocide apologist.

Yes, that’s the only reason you got banned. You got me.

It’s not the purity tests, taking things out of context, hostility, or trollish behavior.

It’s not the condescending comments.

It’s not the smear campaign you’re STILL going on about while taking things out of context to “prove” your point.

It’s not the fact that you intentionally re-posted a removed comment that violated the rules.

It’s not the fact that I explicitly said that this is a no-politics community and was only allowing the post to remain up because it was about political discussions in general. And you decided to bring explicit politics into it.

It’s not the fact that your have a LONG history of bad-faith behavior and derailing conversations with your shtick.

No. It can’t possibly be any of that. It must be because I’m a genocide apologist, bootlicking Nazi. That’s clearly the only rational conclusion to be drawn here.

You fucking caught me.

Put them in the body. I’ll downvote every archive link used the post url because it obfuscates the source.

Yes, those are called “Opinions / Editorials / Letters to the Editor” et al. Both News and WorldNews have rules against opinion articles as well.
