@LMAO is flooding the site with random communities because they’re salty about being banned for claiming too many community names. They claim they’re trying to “fuck your entire site up” but I imagine it’s a relatively quick fix to delete all the communities they’re creating, LMAO.

Maybe admins should restrict community creation for a few days.

Idk, seems like this is quite a pivotal time with an influx of users. Be a shame to have the potential growth in community go to waste.

Counterpoint: we don’t need growth if the cost is the destruction of a good thing. Guided growth is smarter and more sustainable especially when users like the subject of this post aren’t unique. There are a lot of small, mean-spirited people out there who will take a dump all over everything the moment they can.

True, but they could limit community creation to, say, five a day. That would be more than the vast majority of people would legitimately need.

Unfortunately that would mean that real communities wouldn’t be created since that would be used up by someone creating spam communities. Though, maybe limiting the amount of communities that could be made by one account in a certain amount of time? What about verification by email (to send a coherent reason) to the admins to create a community.

Growth for the sake of growth is why reddit and everything else crashes and burns.
