There’s an increase of bot (I suppose) accounts who post a single or a few comics and delete their account.

One of the issue is that they’re often divisive posts (“men bad”, “women bad”, “old bad”, “young bad”, …) like they’re trying to stir up some shit (is “9gag-isation” a word ?)

I’m not sure a simple rule to prevent new account (less than X days) from posting would suffice but I have no other idea.

How could this community deal with this phenomenon ?

PS : I’m not a mod btw, but I didn’t see any rule about discussing the moderation, and I’ve seen other comments about this

Edit: they made a “tatann_2” account to post a few comics so it’s obviously a troll

Edit 2: and now I’m getting downvotes on my posts/comments, even old ones, at least I’ve pissed off the troll

    The thing is, They obviously want to stir up some shit in the comments. Is it possible to somehow impose an automatic rule, that would block the comment section? For example, a new account posts a comic, if that account is deleted within X hours, close the comments section. Maybe only do that for accounts that were created Y days before posting. And then flag those posts accordingly so users can filter them out.
