> Explain how it is necessary if it can be "gotten around". Literally every system on the site can be gotten around. I can just boot up a VM, make an alt on a VPN using a different browser with no identifiable features similar to the one I'm using for this account. I can then do what I please with upvoting and downvoting in a careful manner to avoid all of your systems. The systems exist and work. Against retards. Because those systems can be gotten around doesn't mean they shouldn't exist as you claim here. I can get around the block feature the same way. It isn't hard to change up writing style and posting times. Just force the VPN on a certain network that only allows access to poal during different times in which this or other accounts are. I get it, most people don't understand opsec and can't even into sockpuppetting their way through life. But that doesn't mean some feature isn't necessary or useless because some autist-users can get around said features. e: submitted too early >Those who do are the shill and trolls looking for drama and will eventually get flagged by the algorithm because they are emotionally unstable, then they will obviously create alts to continue to harass users and will end up breaking the ToS. Many tried and failed to get around it. The problem here is it forces me to block them. Which is fine, you increased the block limit. A+, I asked for that early on, not complaining about it. But the issue is that it limits what I do see. Because these shill/troll/kike accounts do post interesting submissions sometimes as a way to establish their names in the community. It's sockpuppet 101, but from the other side.
