There's a person who is spam creating hundreds of communites with impossibly long descriptions on world, why haven't they been banned yet?

The user was banned immediately. Also rate limiting has been put in place on community creation. (Removing the communities takes some time however..)

Can we have a hard limit on community moderation so we never end up with POWER MODS which were one of the worst things about Reddit moderation.
53 0 Replyright? some people spam their own communities daily trying to force traction in them and run like 16 communities.

do you also ban the IP or is it too much?
22 0 ReplyLemmy doesn't have an option for that but we're looking into it
62 0 ReplyIt's so easy to change your IP address. All you'll end up doing is banning a dynamic IP that someone else will get at some point

27 0 ReplyThat's not the mentality of a small child that's the mentality of someone who actively refuses to take their medicine. There definitely has to be some underlying problem with them, if I were this mad I 1. wouldn't do this and 2. would be over it within 2 minutes at most. This user can get fucked.

They should be charged for trying to attack a service using malicious practices. People only learn when their actions have consequences.
61 0 ReplyAgreed. People still think they’re invincible on the web. Tell that to a bouncer at a club or the police. They will f*** your s*** up.

Sure but this won't stop until it's not possible or worth the effort/resources. So I'm wondering if there's a technical restriction that could be put in place for such behavior. Maybe instances should just start limiting the number of new communities someone can create in a certain amount of time on their instance.

40 0 ReplyHexbear had a nerd like this in the first year, must have been 3 years ago now. They spammed John Kerry pictures and did it every single day for like 10 months.
Serious waste of time/life.
36 0 ReplyIs there a way to add this as a bug or feature request list for Lemmy? This seems like a concern that will need to be addressed at some point in the future. Maybe opening up communities created by banned users. Or adding a feature where users can report rogue moderators and allow communities to be liberated from rulers who become malicious or have their account hacked?
33 0 Replythis makes it more or less impossible to search for Communities with numbers in the name at least for me because they have random strings of numbers in the description.
25 0 ReplyWould blocking the user also block the communities they made?
9 0 ReplyIt really should, honestly.

Why was the dude banned for reserving community names? Did they actively refuse to moderate them?
2 0 ReplyInversely, why tolerate squatting? If you want to build the community up, great, but reserving is stupid if it isn't done in good faith
17 0 ReplyVery well, but is a ban an appropriate punishment?
