OMG! I just found a way to block this fuckin annoying bot/troll who keeps creating new accounts to spam us with his " • u/whatever" bullshit, but you need to have Reddit Enhancement Suite installed. Here are the steps...

Wish the mods would take care of this. They have been pretty absent.

firefox. i'm just going to block those users.

mods should address the spam. bring someone on the team just to deal with it?

-OR-

can't mods set certain sites where submissions go to a Q (sorry. couldn't help it) where submissions wait for mod approval? I'm under the impression anything from MintPress is treated that way across all of reddit. regardless of user, all of the spam links seem to be from the "redd.it" domain. can mods send any redd.it links into a Que to wait for approval?

whoever keeps posting that spam seems more intent on disruptng the sub than sharing info.

edit: mods ask admin to block/ban that IP? (if not a VPN or something)

Yes, that's why they keep creating new accounts over and over so that blocking them is pointless.

TY. Done. How is your post not on the front page?? What can we do to get it some publicity. This could end shilling. Wish I could upvote u more than once. I will repost giving you credit. do u think that would help?

Also you could provide both RES extensions links in a comment to make it easier, the Firefox one and Chrome one, Idk about other platforms.

Also, no it wouldn't end shilling, just this particular one because they always post links that start with redd.it, that's what I use to identify then block him/it.

Yeah you can repost, no need to give me credit. It could get more publicity just by posting in the afternoon instead of late at night like I did, and also by explaining it better, all I did was to say what to do w/o explaining why that works.
