I'm not calling for censorship. Nothing I said included a call for censorship. I'm instead asking Poal if they still think this shit is harmless and funny. A lot of Poalrs seem to think that this is just some novelty account having fun and it's not affecting Poal. I've seen this sort of behavior adversely affect other forums so it's not harmless fun. Did you think TheAmerican/GhostSkin/BigTrucker/My10thAccount/99887766 posts on Voat were also harmless fun? That guy was subverting the forum and poisoning the content. He glowed like a motherfucker. Think about that in the case of Tealc.
Is it the 'indeed' title that bothers you specifically or the velocity of posts?
It's bot-like behavior. Would it be acceptable if it were posting porn or (((vaxx))) shilling memes? There's no human content or commentary behind the account so it might as well be treated as spam. You ever try to have a conversation or discussion with Tealc? All it replies with is 'indeed'. That's worthless. Funny how people around here hate AI generated content but accept a bot-like account that has less to offer than AI generated content.
No, I get your point... but I think you missed mine. I welcome suggestions on how we combat all of the cointellpro tactics, but I refuse to sacrifice the free speech high ground.
If you have constructive suggestions then make your suggestion. Otherwise your post is just whiny bitching.
My suggestion will probably get called 'censorship', but perhaps a new site rule that doesn't allow the same one word post title or comment to be used over and over in a short period of time could at least make the low effort trolls have to put in some effort. But aside from that, other users need to stop upvoting this shit and definitely stop defending it as harmless content. People would be more upset if these were posts for selling dick enlargement pills and would call for the user to be banned. Why is this so different? It's a crafted attack designed to have people defend it because of 'free speech'. (((They))) will use your sensibilities against you any chance you give them. This is why it's dangerous.

Suggestion - put time cap on creating new topics - only one new topic per every, 12 mins and 46 seconds. (example)
if using bots here is illegal, this proccedure could make it easier to root out the bots that start posting more precisely. Nothing says bot, like a whole mess of pre-timed posts. Make the bots adapt, then learn what their adaption was. Then close that.
