This is precisely why we have disabled unsupervised community creation and have instead have users submit a request. Highly recommended.

[–] substill@vlemmy.net 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That and a limit of 3 per user per day seem rational.

[–] seal_of_approval@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe it could be per IP, so that way someone can't make a bunch of alts to circumvent the limit.

Maybe account needs to be a week old?

[–] Handtooch@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

This should be the standard

Looks like it is the same dude, a lot of the communities have "LMAO" in them like last time

edit: dude is pissed at me LMAO

Everyone watch out, we've got a god-tier redditor on our hands

His breath probably reeks of Spez’s ejaculate.

[–] Haha@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

It’s not me I swear

[–] donut@sh.itjust.works 26 points 1 year ago

It has been dealt with. You can PM with the user and we will take care of it. Thanks!

[–] LolaCat@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just saw this as well. What's even the point? it'll probably take the admins like 10 minutes to remove them

[–] LolaCat@sh.itjust.works 39 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Also just to add: it looks like they are being made by /u/fuck and /u/crappy, but I don't see a way to report them

edit: now it's /u/LolaCatt, apparently i pissed him off lol

[–] HorseFD@lemm.ee 18 points 1 year ago

Not really sure what anyone has to gain by doing this.

[–] mr_washee_washee@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

just pinged the dude on matrix

[–] sneakyninjapants@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sent the three site admins PMs about the new accounts and communities around 10 minutes after /crappy account was created. Had already made over 400 communities in that timeframe.

[–] mr_washee_washee@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

nice job. u/Lollacat still online

[–] sneakyninjapants@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

Well aware. I believe one of the admins is taking care of it rn. u/fuck u/LollaCatt and u/crappy are the three I've seen so far spamming community creation calls.

I know my memes aren't great but come on

[–] tallwookie@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

what do those translate into (from hex, I presume)?

[–] Arete@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

They're probably just chunks of uuids. Not meaningful, just easy to generate programmatically and valid as community names.

[–] Sniffy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Trolls gonna troll
